SMC Quest
This is a journey of understanding and planning how to create a virtual treasure hunt around the St Margaret's College campus.  
Creating characters and a story or a theme for each virtual quest has been an exciting and creative adventure. 
Using the ARIS games platform we have been able to make a scene with some dialogue with a character.  This may have been in the form of instructions of what to do next or a riddle.  Within the game, we are also able to collect objects along the way.  

If you are interested in learning how to create your own quest or if you are keen to help us build a range of SMC Quests then come and join this group during lunchtimes to build on what we have already started.

This club is not operating in 2019.
