Purpose

The Rickards High School Chapter of Game Development Club is dedicated to spreading the fun of making games whilst learning how to program and learn modern software such as Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, etc.  The club also teaches people around the locality how to program or make art so that they may find a future job interest by letting members of the club volunteer.

We aim to:

• Teach members how to code while having fun
• Provide opportunities for members and volunteers to contribute positively to their community.
• Help create an interest in a growing job market and help people find interest in these jobs.
• Create teamwork skills by participating in Game Jams, allowing members to interact with peers to create a fun video game.

Our mission is to interest and teach students in high schools and middle schools how to make games since developing games will not only prove to be fun but also an amazing way to learn how to code, which is slowly starting to become a basic skill that most people have.  It also teaches students to work in teams and find compromises within ideas, creating real-world skills.
