Presidents Program
Join the GameRT for a double-dose of gaming updates and programming ideas. First, come learn about the results of a nationwide survey distributed in late summer 2018 which offers an overview of the current state of gaming in libraries. This program will discuss the findings from the study as well as give practical insight on managing game collections from a library that has been gaming since 2009.
Next, learn how to use the free Kodu software with patrons ages 8-18 to create video games, code them, and publish them online. There will be a software demonstration featuring your choices!
Each speaker, will provide direction, ideas and insight into growing your gaming program in your library.
