[Yr7-10it] Swingame Competition 2010 - Registrations now open!

[Bianca van Meeuwen]

As part of Swinburne’s initiative to increase students’ interest in and
awareness of the technical, design, communication and teamwork skills
involved in software development, the Faculty of Information and
Communication Technologies has developed a computer games design
competition for all secondary school students. 
 
The SwinGame competition is an exciting opportunity for students to win
great prizes, gain real-world experience in software and games
development and work on a fun, creative project with friends. To give
students a head start, we have developed a range of online tutorials
that will help with the basics of games design.
 
The competition is open to all students from Secondary Schools in
Australia. Entries can be for an individual or in teams of up to three
members (all members must be from the same school).
