Discover how school lessons can become the starting point for designing a game as part of a creative process!
The competition is aimed at schools and students of all Primary and Secondary Education grades in the country, Cyprus, and Greek Diaspora. With the support of their teachers, students are invited to create an original educational board or digital game on topics related to the fields of knowledge taught.
The competition aims to promote game-based learning and collaborative creative activity in the school environment. The game design process is linked to specific learning objectives, through the students’ active involvement, helping to foster a collaborative team spirit and develop students’ creativity, critical thinking, imagination, digital literacy, computational and other skills.
This original and popular in the school community, competition is organised by the Hellenic Film and Audiovisual Centre – Creative Greece, with the Ministry of Digital Governance, the Association of Information and Communication Engineers and the Hellenic Association of Graphic Design Technology Graduates, in collaboration with the Educators’ Team for the Scratch Game Competition, under the auspices of the Region of Attica and the General Secretariat of Greeks Abroad and Public Diplomacy of the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
