About Me
Pixels, Programming, Play & Pedagogy (P4Games - p4games.org) is a project which explores the creation of interactive videogames as a holistic, project-based teaching method in high schools. The creation of videogames requires the integration of visual arts (pixels), computer programming (programming), and game design (play). P4Games has two primary activities: The first is to "teach the teachers" through the Teacher Game Institute (TGI); and the second is to teach videogame creation skills directly to high school students during residential summer camps. The project aims to increase student interest in art, design, math, and technology. P4Games enjoys generous support from the National Science Foundation and the University of Denver.

Teachers from Denver area public schools learning programming, art, and game design in a three week camp completed these games in Greenfoot (after learning Scratch for the first week). For Scratch games, and one Greenfoot scenario that would not load to this website, check http://p4games.org/tgi09
