How can we best learn a new program?

We can learn new techniques from past experiences
We will create our own computer game. In this unit we will be trying to work independently or in small groups, using our past experiences with the design cycle to take on the challenge of learning a new program and building a game. Hopefully the game will have an impact on our community and / or the environment.
