Brazil Games Factory Project
This Project was born in Finland, where we have studied in VET Program. The basic idea is to bring some innovation to Business and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) classes by center the education processes in student perspective. We understand that integrating the entrepreneurship and game development concepts through a practical view of educational games development would be the way to improve business and ICT courses.
Five VET - Teatchers fos the Future, 2015 are engaged in this project:
- Ricardo Dematte - IFSP;
- Cynthia Mattosinho - IFS;
- Gustavo Prado - IFTM;
- Fábio Ferraz Fernandes - IFB;
- Fabrício Sobrosa - IFRS.
Our basic idea is to integrate the entrepreneurship and games development education areas in a way in witch the learning process can be a funny, challenging and practical opportunity to students and teachers.
What is Brasil Game Factory project?
In this project, management teachers and students will be clients of the project, setting some requirements to games development.
Based on the Project Based Learning - PBL theory we will identify business opportunities and analyse the viability to create an educational game. The partnership with system development teachers (Gustavo and Ricardo) and their students will be then putted into practice by real educational games development!!
This is a basic idea, but we think about the challenge to put teachers and students from 5 states together in witch the goal is the project based learning process. To integrate people around the country and to make them to collaborate and to be angaged with the project is our first challenge!
