SUMMARY:Godot: Getting Started in Godot
DESCRIPTION:***IMPORTANT: PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN LAPTOP WITH DOWNLOADED SOFTWARE*** for workshops scheduled at Morgridge Hall! There are no desktop computers at this location and only a limited number of laptops to check-out from the front desk. \nWelcome to our Getting Started in Godot Workshop! Whether you’re new to game development or have some programming experience\, this workshop is crafted to introduce you to the fundamental concepts of working in Godot and to start you on your journey to building your first game. Join us as we explore Godot concepts like nodes\, scenes\, and resources which lay the groundwork for all Godot projects. This experience will be hands-on and hopefully demystify any confusion or apprehension that currently plagues your journey into the exciting realm of game development! \nImportant Notice: If you plan to join the Godot workshop\, we kindly ask you bring your personal laptop. You have the option to download Godot in advance (https://godotengine.org/download/)  or we’ll guide you through the process at the beginning of the workshop. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! \n Workshop InformationAudienceAnyone interested in game developmentPrerequisitesBasic computing skills
