The vast development of digital learning over the past few decades has resulted in the need to understand this new digital language. As a result of this, digital literacy is going to be a new concern in the future, especially for communities in areas of social disadvantage, which is an issue that the Digital Hub are keen to address. In a direct response to this objective this project was designed around the Mission Maker software developed by Immersive Education. The primary objective here was to develop a project that was innovative and took a creative and fun approach to digital education while dealing with the issue of digital literacy.

Young people participated in a four day programme of experimentation and exploration of the purposes of play, the development of strategy and gaming techniques. Each participant then developed their own game. First, game objectives were identified. Next storyboards were drafted to outline the sequences of the game which were then designed using Missionmaker. Finally and most importantly, this collection of new and original games were played and enjoyed by the young people.

"...it was more hands on, more interactive, they told us what to do at the begining. The people that were there with us would design one at the beginning, show us what to do and then tell us, do it ourselves, so we had the freedom to do whatever we wanted... when you have to figure out what you have to do, its very hands on, you kind of absorb a bit more than when someone explains the stuff to you..." - Stanley Cooling Click here to play some sample Missionmaker Games created by young gamers in the elevate learning studio.
