Brain Games - Bristol

The first of our Brian games phase 2 workshops took place on 22 and 25-28 March 2002 in Explore At-Bristol where the pilot project was designed and delivered in November 2000.

Five schools from ‘Success @’ (Small EAZ in Withywood, Bristol) took up the Brain Games challenge, including four primary schools and one secondary school. The secondary school pupils (Year 8) worked in teams with primary school pupils (Years 5 and 6). The secondary pupils took on a peer-mentoring role within the teams.

Seven games advisors were on hand to give advice to our Bristol teams including those from local games companies Hothouse and Abundant Software.

Four judges were set the task of coming up with a team whose game and team working most impressed them. Judges were: Prof Angela McFarlane, Graduate School of Education, Bristol; Terry Williamson, Director of Success @, Catherine Aldridge, Education and Programmes Manager At-Bristol and John Rowland of Mouse Power Associates.
