Game Design Through Twine: Interactive Storytelling is a summer program that gives students the opportunity to design and create a game through the Twine coding platform. Students will examine “Choose Your Own Adventure” games and games with themes in social justice, as well as the methods and forms of interactive storytelling. Students will refine their writing skills by crafting characters, worlds, and the game hero's journey. This course was built using backward design from the Common Core Writing Standards as well as the International Society for Technology and Education standards. This course will be taught by our Esports Coordinator Isaiah Perez. The course was created by Ph.D. candidate and current Illinois State Board Educator Rachel Hirsh.
