What Teachers and Students Tell Us About our Workshops

Educator Feedback

What I liked best: Students being engaged in learning, creating a product. Love the concept of saving the games and creating CDs for all the students so they can share them with their home schools, families and friends.

Student Feedback

Everything was excellent. My favourite part was seeing our games come together at the end. It was amazing. I loved every part of it.

- Patricia, Holy Redeemer Catholic School

Best workshop ever! 

- Dan, Holy Redeemer Catholic School

This was awesome! The experience was once in a life time! I liked learning new things. It was REALLY easy to follow along! Suggestions: Maybe movie making. I know a lot of people who would enjoy that.

- Alannah, St. Leo C.S.

I liked the fact that we were allowed to make suggestions and also that there were no limits for our creativity.

- Ana, Holy Redeemer Catholic School

I liked that we could do everything ourselves, with hands on experience about computers and programming. It was very easy to follow. Though for next time, I advise she goes slower. This program is a great learning experience for anyone.

- Rachel, St. Elizabeth Seton C.S.

I hope I get to do another Artech workshop.

- Joshua, Bother Andre C.S.

I liked how I could create a game from the ground up. I learned MORE than I expected. I made a game that I probably wouldn’t make otherwise but because it’s mine – I love it!

- Jacob, Holy Redeemer Catholic School

I liked being able to be creative with the stuff we made. The material was presented well and was easy to follow along. It was great! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do this. It was amazing!

I learned a lot and the teachers were very helpful. It was also very fun to play other classmates games.

I liked everything about the workshop. How we created everything and made the games ourselves.

I liked that you could design your own sprites and that it was for a whole week. I learned a lot.

I liked creating my own game.

What I liked best: the amount of creativity we got to have.

What I liked best: playing each others’ games and testing our own. It was super fun and easy to catch up on even though I was late.

- Antonio, St. Theresa C.S.

What I liked best: putting my own unique designs and challenges into a game for others to overcome. I also liked being able to customize things to my liking (characters/sprites). Suggestions: Include how to make bosses and power-ups.
