DigiBC Education Updates

Recent education highlights about DigiMusic and IndigiGeeks.

DigiMusic @ BCMEA Conference [October 25/26]
DigiBC had a booth and participated at this year’s BC Music Educators’ Association (BCMEA) Conference in Richmond. The event hosts music educators from around the province and was an ideal place to promote DigiMusic 2020. Zoltan Virag, DigiMusic Advisory Board Lead, presented on how to use the online resources and the great materials that were created for DigiMusic 2019. We also shared highlights from this year’s program and collected contact info from attendees who were keen to get on the mailing list for DigiMusic 2020.


Launch of IndigiGeeks [November 27]
DigiBC will launch our new program, IndigiGeeks, in Nanaimo on November 27 at the Tsawalk Indigenous High School. Learners will be taken through the creation of a simple video game in Game Maker, and we have three volunteers from 81monkeys who will be introducing basic game design concepts . Tsawalk opened in 2016 as a partnership between Vancouver Island West School District, Nanaimo Aboriginal Centre, Mid-Island Métis Nation and the Boys and Girls Club of Central Vancouver Island, to help students who aren’t finding success in traditional high schools to reconnect with education.
