I am the Academic lead of the MOOC “Begin programming: Build your first mobile game”. Through this course thousands of beginners get a glimpse of what programming is, and some of them even start programming more seriously.

Too many to list have thanked the team, and mentioned what fantastic an opportunity it has been for them. Here are what 3 of the participants have achieved after the course:

• One participant mailed me thanking me, because he is now working in the app making business, because of what he has been able to learn on this course.
• Shaun has published a blockout clone Brix n Blox.
• Zain has published Bounce Ball
• Janeen has published Space Pong

When programming the developer design new “worlds”. So the opportunities are endless. Below you can see screenshots of
