Competition is helpful for students and provides learning opportunities.
I've learned the importance of combining creativity with structured project management in game design. I've gained insights into how methods like Agile can help students stay organized and focused while encouraging creative thinking. I intend to apply these concepts by setting clear goals for students and providing them with both the freedom to explore and the framework to complete projects efficiently.

I'm not a Game Design teacher yet, but I am a Video Production teacher, and I think that ideas around contests and challenges we take part in apply to game design as well. Look for shows/challenges that cater to the abilities of your students, make connections with industry experts, focus on student growth, and be ready to adjust expectations in the event of the always present unexpected changes.
