Mary is part of Citizen Hacks, a group that's hosting an event in the new year. Here is an announcement that she wanted to pass on to everybody:
Come out to Citizen Hacks, a new hackathon about creating ethical technology, taking place in Toronto on January 11-13, 2019! For 36 hours, join students and leading innovators in tackling the challenge of privacy in the digital age. Featuring keynote speaker Dr. Ann Cavoukian. Sign up for email updates at citizenhacks.com. Applications will be released soon!
On Wednesday, Sept 26th, the DHN is hosting a Lightning Lunch on "Games and Play" from 12pm - 2pm in the DCS Innovation Lab. I've arranged for all of you to have access to the event, which overlaps our class by an hour. After the session is done, we'll complete our lesson with the group matching session. If the weather cooperates, we can even run this outside.
The DCS Innovation Lab (DCSIL for short) is on the second floor of the Gerstein Library at 9 King's College Circle (see map). If you can't make it for 2pm, we'll see you there at 1pm instead. Either way, get your tickets here.
For those who miss the first class or just need a reminder of what's happening on the weekend, the game jam activity is taking place on Saturday, September 15th in the Bahen Centre, room 3200 (the Great Hall). It will start from 10am and run to about 4pm, with pizza lunch supplied for all who come.
During this session, you'll be making a game from start to finish, so bring a laptop that you would be able to develop on later in the course. You should have one of the game design tools installed on it (see the Links page for a few suggestions), and should complete enough tutorials to have a basic sense of how the tool works.
We'll start at 10am sharp with introductions and group formations, so aim to be there at 10, ready to go!

Hello, and welcome to the course! If you're reading this, you've taken an important first step in exploring what the course is about. Keep checking in here for more announcements related to the course, and make sure you're familiar with the tabs on the left. Most of the material related to the course will be distributed through this website, so it's important that you're familiar with the places that vital information can be found.
Make sure that you've filled out the beginning-of-term information survey that was sent out through email before the semester started. If you don't remember receiving that, you can find the form here: https://goo.gl/32Udii.
If you're looking for something to do to prepare for the first class, we'll be using one of the game design tools listed here. You'll want to pick one and check out the tutorials to get familiar with it sooner rather than later :)
