Leading global education technology company Quipper conducted “QodeFest" to help learners know the basics of coding. The webinar helped students improve their modern skills and embrace technology as an integral part of their learning process—this time, by teaching them how to code a two-dimensional (2D) game using Stencyl.
With the theme “Equipping Learners with 21st Century Skills that Go Beyond the Classroom”, the webinar tackled the basics of creating a 2D block game using the software Stencyl. This game development tool allows users to create 2D video games for computers, mobile devices, and the web.
The attendees learned how to get familiarized with the Stencyl environment and its various assets and how to add platforms and characters while controlling them using block coding. The webinar was led by Anne Margarette Dungca, Instructor from EveryJuan Can Code, and supported by Power Mac Center.
“The good thing about learning how Stencyl works is that it leverages the learner’s interest in coding, which is an important skill to learn nowadays. Learning how to code can offer vast opportunities to students interested in being part of the tech industry or if they want a new hobby,” said Dungca. She also highlighted how coding can develop a student’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills, adding, “Coding is more than just learning how to create a website, a game, or software; it can also enhance someone’s creativity. It is truly a skill that a 21st-century learner needs”.
