Ballymena School Cambridge House has a Technology Club which runs each week. Pupils gather after school on a Monday or a Thursday in the Technology room to build a computer game.
This term the Technology Club are building a basic computer game similar to ‘Pong’ – a classic tennis game which can be plugged into a television and controlled by two paddles. The group had three projects which they could choose from and the majority voted for the computer game. The group has pupils from year 8 who are learning skills like soldering, identifying components and using computer programmes like SolidWords for the very first time. Older pupils from years 9 and 10 are building on what they have been taught in class.
Everybody has been working on their computer games for a few weeks and hope to be finished before Christmas. We at Ballymena Today cant wait to see the finished product and then the retro tennis battles can commence.
