Microsoft Tech.Ed EMEA 2008

I was lucky enough to get a free trip to this year’s Tech.Ed from my Microsoft Student Partner link and this here is my wrap up from the trip. Enjoy!

MSP programme is Microsoft’s selection of community active students who enjoy technology just as much as the next guy and like to share their knowledge when ever possible. Each year the top few are selected to attend Tech.Ed Developers to get a glimpse of the cutting edge of technology and share all that with their local communities.

What's up with the facepalm?

During Nordic Game 2008 in Malmö we got a invitation to visit the Hedmark University College in Norway and keep a small presentation on what our club activities are all about, hopefully inspiring their students to found a club of their own. TAMK School of Art and Media sponsored us with the travel expenses along with our office of international affairs, while Hedmark University College was kind enough to provide us with an awesome room in Hotel Victoria and loads of food and drinks during our stay.

This is our wrap up from the best trip anyone has ever made!

Philosophy of Score

A full year has passed since our official approval as a club and a lot has happened, so now I think it’s time to go in details on what’s the working component of Score, the force that drives our activity.

Project 5D complete!

5D was the ‘08 summer project of Score where we attempted to create five games in five weeks, working five days in a week and five hours a day with five people. Here are all the games, our reports from making them and all project files for you to play around with. These projects are released under the Creative Commons 2.5 licence.
Please note how the games progress on quality and/or fun with each new production and read the reports if you find something interesting. All feedback is greatly encouraged and can be sent to score (at) igda (dot) fi. We also accept love letters and corruption presents!
