They will be joined by three other teams representing Gilredge House School, St John Fisher Catholic Voluntary Academy and New College.
Teaching Computing with the BBC & BAFTA YGD
Games engage and excite students in a way that few other topics can. It's why so many teachers ensure that games development is attempted at least once during each key stage. Using the medium of games we can bring together all the different strands of computing and combine it with artistic creativity and fun.
