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
