Hi all,

Greetings from Nigeria. I run a foundation for kids and teenagers here in Nigeria. I established it to bring computing and hi-technology concepts to teenagers and young adults through a process of real world hands-on creative learning experience.The foundation is geared towards fostering an attitude of Action Learning through a series of FREE interactive computing workshops

This year's event took place yesterday at the prestigious Victoria Crown Plaza and it was titled "Mobile Game Development with GameSalad" I hosted 13 kids between the ages of 9 and 16 and they had a lot of fun learning GameSalad. We even had a game development competition where the winner of the contest was presented with an iPad 3. Just wanted to use this opportunity to thank the GameSalad crew for providing this novel development platform.


Here are a few pics from the event. I'm the guy in the white shirt leading the class.

    This is fantastic!

    Free workshops and hands on experience for the kids, let me know if you would like a free template to aid in the learning.

    Thanks Darren. I love GameSalad so much that I have subscribed to every thing (well almost) that's linked to it including being a GameSalad Pro subscriber and DBA Resource Centre customer. However, I wouldn't mind if you could donate free templates for our next workshop and we'll credit you. Cheers! :-)
