Do you remember a year ago when we watched President Obama announce the 1st Annual National STEM video game challenge? We had about 5 teams enter the competition with great games, but this year can be even better. This year is the 2nd Annual STEM Video Game Challenge. Each of you had completed a game by now and I think you should all enter this year's competition. It is a great opportunity to put all of the skills and knowledge you have acquired in Globaloria to the test. Plus you can win awesome prizes and have your game be the ultimate STEM Video Game. Leave a comment below on this post. Good luck!
Here is the link to the National STEM Video Game Challenge website.
Watch the video to find out more information about last year's winners and this year's challenge.
That sounds really cool I think I might put my game in there this sounds like a really contest to be in. So I think I might be in it.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really cool to put my game in, since you said that the games the the other kids made weren't good than I think I have a good chance to win this year. I think im going to try it out and put my game in the contest.
ReplyDeleteWOW...that is so awesome i think if the people from our school enters i think they will win or something because we used flash not the other one like the kids from the video and we create the things not like the other ones but i think we would win!!!!.
ReplyDeleteWow I can think what to do for the steam.It looks like who ever enters is going to have no challenge.
ReplyDeleteIt looks cool to enter and win prizes. And created a new game to win and play it and so for everybody who play the game that he created. So it is cool to enter it will be hard to win with others people that enter.
ReplyDeleteThat competition sounds interesting . But i dont think im gonna enter this competition . Most of the winners had games that were not that good . I could defenetly make a better game than them . But i will think about joining .
ReplyDeleteAWESOME:)I think this is very cool i would love to enter this competition and create an awesome game so other kids can play it and it will show them great stuff about it. I'm very exited if i enter this competition hope i win hope someone from our school wins Good luck for all the ones that are going to enter this competition:)
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh..... All these kids making all these informational games that teach us all social issues. These kid's were in 5th grade and up and they made some hard games. I can not believe my eye's and ears when they talk about social issue's

ReplyDeleteIm gona winn it >=D no escape i gona winn it (evil lagh)....
ReplyDeleteI think that this contest is very interesting. I'm not sure if I will enter this contest though. I really think that I have a chance at the winning prize and I think other students from my school do also. I hope someone from our school wins , I think we will.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool but some those were not good so if i join this games contest i will problem win so thank you for showing me that video.
ReplyDeleteI think we should participate this year since its the second year of the game challenge. It would also be good help for are strategies on making a game.
ReplyDeleteWow.. I'm really shocked on how these kids love to play games so much that they think beyond and want to make their own game. It's amazing how much effort they put into this and made a game by themselves and came up with everything just to make that happen. Those are some successful kids.

ReplyDeleteI think that this challenge is a great way of encouraging kids to do their hardest in what ever they do.This project in my opinion is a way of showing the talent kids around the world have, what they are capable of and more.It is a really cool project and I hope to someday be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat impressed me the most is when the girl had her dad play and even he said it was harder than he thought it would be. Also what amazes me is that they had family and teachers give them advice and then they had them test it out. To see if all the information they had given them had made their game even better.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a eyecatching contest but would it help you for future jobs to come. For e.g. I want to be a doctor would that be a good thing to put on my resemae,resemea resemai,resem?
ReplyDeleteI think that is coll because there are kids 9 years old making games just imagine when they get older they will be making way more advanced games. And I don't think im going to enter because I don't want to be a game designer when i grow up.
ReplyDeleteOmg misss ama enter nd try to be one of ther first top best game disiners my game that i wanna make its going to be awesome it going to have education of whats going on around my world nd why is the is the reson we should help it nd yeah i amma try to be michael at this deveras i am miss
ReplyDeleteI think that it pretty cool that they do that.I also think that the people that won last year should go enter and I think I know who might win.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is very good that younger children are taking an interest in creating games that involve teaching about social issues. However, I do not think I will be entering in the competition considering that I don't really like game designing and all that other complicating flash stuff !
ReplyDeleteI think that the games that the kids made were cool and awesome but I also think that we can do even better because we have been learning even more things about how to design games and how to do even more stuff to make the game even better that the ones that the kids did but over everything that i said I think that the games were really awesome but i think we can do even better than the games that the kids did from the video that you just should us.
ReplyDeleteThose kids entered some nice games and its cool that many of them want to grow and make or test games.The contest sound very interesting and cool.I think it would be nice to enter the contest just to show off your game making skills but I don't think that I would enter because it's just something I don't see myself doing, but I am sure others would enjoy entering the contest.
ReplyDeleteYahh..... maybe I will participate but I saw one girl who was playing gamestar mechanic which makes it easy to make a game but I know I'll have to do it in flash.
ReplyDelete|:(
awesome this gives me another opportunity to create a game and possibly win, but this time i know what to do I've had struggle before and maybe some more but I got this.
ReplyDeletewow that is so cool i ma try to enter my game into the contest and try my best on it
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool and I really want to join, so I will, but I still also don't want to. I still will join, because I think that us as a school can win this thing! We are a awesome school, so we can do this! WE ARE COLLEGE PREP ACADEMY!

ReplyDeleteIm going to win no doubt about it Im came here to win.I think this is awesome im going to try out.
ReplyDeleteUgh!-___- I'm Kinda Mad That Not One Of Us Won , And Some Of Our Games Were So Much Better! Well I Guess Next Time We Will Win! But I Don't Really Want To Enter I'll Think About It. Well Hope Most Of The Students Here Enter.
ReplyDeleteAthziry
Wow.!!! This is a really great competition. I'm going to enter again and this year my game will be a complete game and it will be better thatn the one from last year. I want to enter and represent my school. WISH ME LUCK.!!!!
ReplyDeleteO M G !!(: That is so cool !! , it kinda stinks that you heve in solo ! But i think that somebody from our school will make it far in this compettion !! (: Because our games are SOOOO MUCHH better !!(:
ReplyDeleteI think that this is good for children that are interested in being a person that works with technology.I think I am going to join because i can make a fun game that teaches kids about social issues.
ReplyDeleteHello Mrs.Arcos!
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I think this competition is great! It's a great opportunity for us the youth. It gets kids to be involved rather than doing something else that can be bad for them. I think I will definitely enter this time. After all I've done I totally can make it. I'm glad you bring this to us Mrs.Arcos, that is very sweet of you.
Later,Arlette :)
Awesome! Im going to work on my game because it seems really easy because all the games the kids have done mostly all of them did the same topic.
ReplyDeleteSo if i work very hard i can probably be selected. We should all enter this competition.
I think that this is every interesting I hope that a lot of students from our school enter it would so cool that they would win. I might enter this year.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool, I'm going to enter. But I think is hard because a lot of people do there games and they are so good. I am going to try my best on it. If I don't win I'm still going to be good .. I tried my best on it.!!
ReplyDeleteThis is cool,i might sign up for it but im going to try my best to make it good.I need someone to keep me focus.
ReplyDeletewow it seems cool but not interested because i cant work in flash its to complicated but still cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of disapointed that none of our games made it.But i think this is really good for kids because they get to make there own games and put there own creations.This year i'm really interested to make my game and put it in the competition.Hopefully i could win or someone from my school.
ReplyDelete- [ It's sad that we didn't won ! Our games were better ! ! ! :| . . . We should all enter this year ! ! We'll win ! ! ! ) ; :))]

ReplyDeleteThis thing sounds awesome I did not enter last year but in going to now!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is really cool competition and its really shocking that nobody from our school won, but I don't think I'm going to enter because I'm not really interested in doing all of that flash stuff, but it would be really neat if someone from our school won this year. : )
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in this competition. I really think that all of us have the skills to beat this students that have made this games. I am really looking forward to enter this competition and to be a winner and to represent our school.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good and this year i will enter and try all my best and try to win the prize and make a good game!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is really cool because there's a lot of people at the school who could really win.
ReplyDeleteI am kind of disappointed that some none of our games were chosen as the best !?
ReplyDeleteOur games were a lot better they were fun and complete. I just hope that this year our school can win the National STEM Video Game Challenge !
I may enter the competition because i want to show may skills !
(:
Well, first of all, I'm kind of sad and disappointed because none of the students in here entered the competition, but I think that this year, it's going to be different.Now that we know much more than before, we can have the opportunity to make our games even better than the ones before. That way our games will make it through the competition. I also want to point out that our games were better than theirs, but I guess that it's their opinion. We, as a school, will prove that we have the same opportunity as the others!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is very cool because making games by flash is very interesting and seeing kids younger than me making games that are more advanced than any game that i have made in flash.
ReplyDeletewow Im ready for the next stem challenge I hope one of us from our school will win.!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIm kind of dissapointed that we didnt get to win. But this year im pretty sure that we are going to win. Im lookig foward to enter the competition.Know that we have more practice on using the flash we can have a better chance to win. We can show our great skills that all of us have learned by using flash. I hope this year we could win for one of us to represent out school. !'(:
ReplyDeleteI Think That It's Awesome That Young Children Are Taking Interest In Creating Games That Involve Teaching About Social Issue . But It's Sad That None Of The Games We Made Won . But Hopefully Lots Of People Will Enter & Win .
ReplyDelete( - Jasminee ' Alyssaa ]
I'm Really Disappointed That No One From Our School Won,Like You Said We Are A Little Advance & In My Opinion I Think Someone From Our School Should Had Won. Mmmmmmh Maybe I'll Join. . .
ReplyDelete-[Rubi Celeste Villegas]
This is really cool because now since we have learned flash and the codes better we could have a chance to show off our skills and win
ReplyDeleteI'm not all that happy , that we didn't win . .
ReplyDeleteAnd to be honest we are a little more advance then the one(s) who really won this competition..
I'm not sure if I would enter myself because I'm not all that great with flash , at times I would be , but other times I get confused . I really do give credit to the ones who do enter because they have actually have the guts to do that . .
[ - Lexi ]
That is cool If my game is good enough I will enter thx for making me fell good about myself now I will enter.
ReplyDeleteI think this is really cool because that's great thing to do if you know how to use flsh
ReplyDeleteI will enter the contest even though i didn't win anything I still have hope that I can win.
ReplyDeletethis is very cool because i could be the winner this year this is big opportunity for every body to win and i think is a cool thing to make for every one and you could get the price
ReplyDeleteI think that this is really cool and i probably could have one like one of these kids but now i want to try and represent our school our city and our state.
ReplyDeleteI think I would enter because I think I have a little more experience with flash.Then again it's a lot of work and it might take a while,I don't know I'll figure it out sometime.
ReplyDelete-Ryan-
I think this is cool i would really like to be able to be in this competition and try to win at least.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a great opportunity for us to put our knowledge to the test. It helps us to see others students games and see what they can do. I honestly think that the others students games were not that great but I think we can do way better. I think I would consider entering this contest, it's a really cool thing and I can have fun with it and learn many new things. I mean If I don't win that's okay, at least I tried and a really fun time doing it !
ReplyDeleteI'd like to enter in the contest because it would be cool to win and have everyone see my game.It seems like something i'd try and do.
ReplyDeleteThis game sounds good Ms. Maybe I should enter and put effort on it!!:)
ReplyDeleteSounds cool but I for sure am not entering this year because I don't really like how my game was made.To those who want to good luck I hope one of you win.
ReplyDeleteThe games are cool and you can be cool and is fun and is great for the others and it is fun and great to do thinks and is alot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThe games are cool I think I wont enter this year im not sure im not really good at making games but good luck to those who are!
ReplyDeleteI think that STEM competition is interesting. I want to find out what the prizes are. Even if I don't know what the prizes are I'm going to make a game and win that competition. From the winning games I saw I know that I could do better then those games. Can't wait to start my game I have some many ideas.
ReplyDeleteThat really sounds cool if i were to enter i will probably lose but at lest I tried but i would really like to know what the prizes are so maybe i might get more interested in it
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be in it because it looks challenging and fun.This is a great opportunity to get kids from our school to join in and win great prizes.I'm going to join the competition.

ReplyDeleteI think that that is cool to make your own game and enter your own game and try to win and i might enter I might not but if I don't good luck to those who are. Marquez Rocha
ReplyDeleteI think that this is very cool because if younger kids than me can make a game related to science or math than that makes me confident that I can make one to.
ReplyDeleteI think that the video was fun to wacth because some show their videos and they showed their games and the people that help them making their games.It is cool watching other people showing their games.Thats what I think...
ReplyDeleteThats cool but I dont think iam going to put my game in and who ever does GOOD LUCK

ReplyDelete- Monica '[:
The second year of the stem challenge competition is coming back again and is something i didn't expect to come back. Many Video game designer are coming back to compete in this competition and its going to be even bigger.
ReplyDeleteIn my prespective I think that our games were not as dull as the ones that won the gaming challenge they use their games in a program called Gamestar Mechanic.That is pre-made so it is easy to make a game in there and we use Flash which is harder ,but I think we are going to win this year.
ReplyDeleteWe should have of win this, our games are so much better than there's. I'm sure that someone will win the game this year, will if they enter. I don't think I will but, also other people can enter this.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool that there is a game competition, to bad that our school didn't win last year. It would be awesome if someone from our school wins this year.
ReplyDeleteI think its cool that there having the competition ugien because i know we can win, especially with all the new skills weaved learned.
ReplyDeleteRafael(:
I Think That I'm not going to enter but it sounds really cool overall.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds really cool I think I might put my game in there.I think that our games were not as dull as the ones that won the gaming challenge.This really help me out this kid is really interesting.I think this is really cool competition and its really shocking that nobody from our school won.We had a reality check are way.
ReplyDeleteI think our games could have easly beat there games but only if we try
ReplyDeletei think that auros video games wear more better than those other people cause auros games wear so better
ReplyDeleteI think this would be a very interesting challenge to be in, but there are so many people who are professionals trying out and they are more advanced. Still I'm willing to try it out! Even if we don't win, at least we'll have the experience
ReplyDeleteI haven't see the video,but I could tell what the video could be about.By seeing the comment.I would believe that the games are somewhat good and some not.
ReplyDeleteGuadalupe Garcia.
It sound pretty cool and challenging,it sounds fun to ,i'm shore ill thing about it.
ReplyDelete-raquel.lopez
This is Lank
ReplyDeleteI think that's awesome, I think we have a better chance of winning because we have flash and we are better at creating games. Since you said that the other games were not good, then I'm sure we can be better than those other schools that don't really have a chance.
I think this is really cool because that's great thing to do if you know how to use flsh
ReplyDeleteby jonathan
I think this kids know how to do some games. But I think they should can do better. And I think we can beat the other kids
ReplyDeleteFrom: Victor Aragon
I think that other kids can put their flash games in it, ONLY if they can do cool things with it but i wouldn't.Maybe because it seems confusing
