DESCRIPTION:TU Dublin is Ireland's largest University with over 30K student
 s across 5 campuses. Dr Bryan Duggan teaches Creative Coding\, Computation
 al Arts\, eXtended Reality and Autonomous Agents @ TU Dublin. They have be
 en teaching Game Development for over 20 years and have been teaching with
  Godot since Version 3.4. In this talk Bryan will describe how Godot is us
 ed across modules in Computer Science and Game Design to teach students tr
 ansferable digital skills through creative applications in games\, music X
 R\, AI\, robotics and art. Inspired by Dr Randy Paush's "Head Fake"\, stud
 ents create and perform with musical instruments\, make award winning game
 s\, develop XR projects to promote sustainability\, create holographic art
 ificial life forms\, generative art and many other wonders using Godot as 
 the foundational technology. Godot is the great enabler as it runs well on
  low powered student laptops\, is easy to use on locked down lab computers
  and is fast\,  powerful and versatile - enabling students to enter "flow 
 state" while they learn\, and work on projects. Godot disolves boundaries 
 between "learning" and "doing"\; and between "imagining" and "executing". 
  In this talk\, Bryan will showcase a selection of the hundreds of student
  projects created in TU Dublin and present and update from Godó Gaedhleac
 h\, the Irish Godot User Group - a student led group which hosted it's fir
 st IRL meeting in Dublin in February.
