The Oregon Game Project Challenge lets students become game developers

Since 2007, the Oregon Game Project Challenge teaches middle and high school students in Oregon how to go from video game players, to developers in a year long competition. Every season a new theme is announced and competitors have the entire school year to develop a video game from start to finish, including coding, art and sound design. This year's competition was in mid-May, and the team Toast Lads from Century High School won best in show for their game, MARK3T M3TAL. Jason Pelkey is their team lead and a senior at CHS. Andrew Scholar is the director of the Oregon Game Project Challenge. They join us to share more on this year's competition.
