Brian (BARGE games) 🔜 TWENTY FLIGHTS UPDATE!

I was already teaching. I went to a conference for work and met a guy that was working on the draft standards for game development for my state. Took a look at them, started writing my curriculum. Linked up with developers, studio heads, academics, anyone that would give me the time of day.

By the time the standards were approved, I had already written everything out in the forms my district/the state wanted. Had it approved by the end of the year and started teaching game development. My district says they could only put it on the schedule if 25 kids signed up. 200 signed up.

Fast forward to today, I'm teaching game dev full time to about 150ish students a year and doing a pair of GDC roundtables for other k12 game dev teachers in March. My former students have been working AAA, indies, a bunch of them even made a studio and released a game on steam.
