Did you know that by 2025 revenue for mobile games will be more than $138 billion? To put that into perspective, the global movie industry is around $30 billion. By 2025, over 70% of Google Play’s revenue will be from mobile games. Web games are a fast way to get to market, and if designed correctly, they can easily be played on any PC, Mac,  Chromebook, tablet, and smartphone. This curriculum is easy for you to facilitate and teaches your students how to design, build and get their web and mobile games to market quickly.
