The presenters were: Ciara Bell (senior), Derrick Davis (Sr & football player), Heidi Taylor (Red Cross) & Kenneth Stewart II (Sr. & football player) & Jeff Kelsey (Teacher McKinley Tech High School).

This session was totally moving, exciting, and refreshing to hear for a number of reasons. The students were tasked with creating a video game about fire safety for the Red Cross. This was a great example of a school/industry partnership. High school students worked on developing a game about fire safety in an effort to educate other kids and families about fire safety in an interactive and engaging format.The added benefit is that not only have the students learned the basics of creating a video game using the program Maya (which is industry-standard software), but the game is a great public service. How many kids really read, study, or simply know enough about fire safety, or for that matter, how many adults? KIDS LOVE GAMES - if a game can educate in a fun and interactive way about subject matter that is typically overlooked, then you've made great strides and have MAJOR SUCCESS!
