Starting March 1st Kodu is offering a free five week course to teach people how to use Kodu to create fun interactive games for kids. “Kodu is a visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone.” If you are interested in creating games in an online environment this seems like an incredible opportunity. How much you participate is up to you and all of the materials are free. You can download the program at this link: http://fuse.microsoft.com/kodu/ . The only thing that they do not provide is a computer to run the actual program. To find out more information aboout this class check out this link: http://planetkodu.com/course/2010/02/24/before-we-begin/. You can find an overview of the course at this link: http://planetkodu.com/course/overview/ and decide for yourself if it is worthwhile.
