"The Game Plan" is a project developed by Bosch for students to create interactive computer games to increase learning abilities. Bosch will introduce students at Southfield Christian School in third through fifth-grades to a multimedia authoring software program. This technology will allow students to utilize multimedia tools such as graphics, animation, sound, and video to develop innovative games that demonstrate an understanding of concepts taught in class. Third-grade students will visit the Detroit Zoo to collect information and videos of animals in order to create learning games centered on a virtual experience at the zoo. Students in fourth-grade classes will research all 50 states to create games based on video tours of the country. Lastly, students in the fifth grade will create a multiple-choice style game that focuses on the lives of United States Presidents. The development of games will improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills while promoting creativity. All interactive games will be shared with lower grade levels. Bosch resides in Oak Park.
