I nominate Brandon for conference organizer. All of these are great ideas. I also like the different colored name badges. I hope this comes to fruition. Brian didn't you say that 43 states have a Game Design pathway? I think you could really be on to something.

Game Jam for teachers or for students?

I definitely meant game jam for teachers, but I wonder if we could pull of a game jam for students but among our students?

I would want to have skill training for very specific tasks related to Game Design.

We work a lot with prototypes of testing mechanics and using primitives.

I would like good info on developing the wrapping for a game so to speak.  Developing UI overlays, better game menus or loading screen menus, and the business side of details related to getting games onto platforms.

Again, working in hypotheticals.

Would you prefer someone from Unity/Unreal/Godot whatever doing it or a high school teacher? Would you even care?

I'd love a more game design teacher focused conference. I am going to the AME Conference this summer in Burbank. It's my 3rd one, I've done the pop ups they have bc they are in the Bay Area, and they do have some stuff for game design, but so far it's only been Unreal oriented. It's not about game design but how to use Unreal and Fortnite Creative. I've been to CSTA Conferences too and there's not much that applies. I'd love it if GDC offered something. I know GDC is back in SF again next year, as it has been always, but there are rumors that it might move elsewhere that is cheaper. I'm also wondering if it's passed it's prime and like E3, could it just disappear?

I make everything up. I don't know any local teachers who teach game design. Some days things go smoothly, some days I have awful imposter syndrome. I've never built a game except for game jam type prototypes.

That's something I'd love to do with some folks this summer, maybe make a game together somehow, or do a game jam together.

Also have you reached out to SFCOE? I would be stunned if you were the only Game Dev teacher in San Francisco.

I nominate Meline for session chair
