GamesLab Handbook
What is GamesLab?
GamesLab is an idea and initiative by KidsLab. In GamesLab, kids, teenagers, and students learn to code in a playful way through computer games. More information is available at HTTPS://Kidslab.de/GamesLab
Why the handbook?
During the three-hour workshop with school classes, students learn the basics of game design as well as an introduction to the visual programming language Scratch. Of course, that's not the end of it, and we want to encourage you to keep working on your games — ideally, you'll even submit them to the GamesPreis. The handbook is here to support you along the way.

Here's how it works:
You may… copy and share the handbook change and improve it also use it for your own projects Only two things matter: Say who originally made it Pass the same rights on to others
In other words: you can do whatever you like with this handbook — as long as you say where it came from and let others reuse it too. Fair enough, right? 👍
