 The participation is extremely high because most middle schools participating in the study have made Scalable Game Design a module that is part of existing required courses (e.g., computer power with keyboarding and power point).Many of the middle schools instruct all of their students in scalable game design reaching in some schools over 900 students per year, per school.Of the well over 1000 students participating in the project in the first semester over 52% were girls.
