On Thursday 1st October, Ms O'Kelly and six 5th Year Computer Science students went to Trinity College to participate in the first-ever Pytch (python) Create-athon. It was introduced to the many schools participating in the Create-athon as a "gaming jam"!
In essence, the participants were given a theme ("Fall") and had to imagine a game or animation using this theme. Well done to Yuming, Laila, Brodie, Liam, Ciara and Julia who interpreted "Fall" in many ways and organised themselves so that each person had their own component to code. Well done to the Stratford students for being the first to volunteer to present their work!
After the Create-athon was over we were brought on a walking tour of Trinity College. The Geology/Zoology building is magnificent! Thanks to all the Pytch team for making the day happen.
