Hi to all.
Thank you for taking the time to read. I am a high school teacher in Bloemfontein, South Africa, and someone who really likes to make games and participate in game jams in my spare time. I have recently decided that it might be a good idea to join these areas of my life and offer game development classes to schoolkids where I live. The idea is not to provide them with any kind of formal qualification but to have fun and teach them a couple of skills in the process. I make use Gamemaker exclusively because of its versatility and ease of use and I feel it will be a perfect fit for these classes especially because of the "drag and drop" feature of Gamemaker.
I would like to know from the community how I can come into contact with a Gamemaker representative to ask whether they will be willing to assist me in a sponsorship capacity. It goes without saying that the extent and nature of the sponsorship will depend on the numbers interested as well as the socio-economic background of these kids. I am in the process of contacting local school as well as designing posters to put up around the community to get a more concrete idea of the scope of the project but I would dearly like to talk to someone about my plans in the meantime. I want to be as transparent as possible and am willing to invest a lot to make such an arrangement work.
Any other advice on how I can make this project a success is more than welcome.
Kind regards
