3 5 day session 5 young people gained ASDAN 1 unit award.

What has happened (so far)The session was quite interesting it is quite easy once you get used to it

I enjoyed making the pick up triggers and using the active prop

I disliked the door triggers and the complete shutting down of the software.

Next week I want to make different rooms with different textures.

I went on games and wrote down what the graphics were like. I also looked at engagement, excitement and how easy they were to get into.

Learned - positives

Learned (so far) - issues
