Between this and a pair of High School Roundtables, I am really hoping to get a lot of high school teachers out this year.

Massive for high school programs.
They used to have an "education summit" pass that was a good discount, but got away from it some time ago. This is significantly better as it is a true full pass.
It was very hard for newer teachers to convince their districts to send them.

Even so last year I personally spoke to 25 with most of them being at their first GDC and missed a whole bunch.
Best year ever and hoping to top that this year with the price drops and getting the word out to more districts about what GDC can do for their programs.

I have been pushing to get more of us, as I discover more of us and the cost increases had made it a harder sell for newer teachers that didn't have the capital in their district. (If they could talk their district into even considering it)

Thank you so much, when I wandered I to my first GDC, I thought I was the only k12 teacher there. I found out the next year that me and another just never crossed paths.
For years it was a handful of hanging out with the College folks (who were always awesome to us)

Sorry to bug you again. Had a couple teachers in my discord already reach out, is it a code or something?

I recall seeing something in the new Promo materials about an Educator discount, is that the case?
if so, is there somewhere I should be pointing teachers? I always try to bring out the k12 game dev teachers I'm linked up with.

A cold, joyless simulacrum of the thing you thought you were getting that simply doesn't hold up if you know what you are supposed to be getting.

AI makes art the same way Applebee's makes food.
If you don't care and you squint just right, it seems like the food you ordered, probably tastes, smells and looks close.
But upon closer inspection, you see that there is no soul, no joy, not for the creator or the consumer.

Tuesday-Thursday are probably the most important days, but with this new format who knows what the lay of the land will be.
Also depending on your goals at GDC, you might find your out of conference events are spread out a bit throughout the week.

It's one of those games that's a touchstone STILL.
In my intro game design class I have to update my video game examples every few years.
When I talk board games if it isn't Monopoly, Life, battleship or candyland. I have to introduce it to them from my games library.
