Incredibly proud of Pace who, along with two of his classmates from Thom Collegiate, got voted by his peers as having the second most popular video game in the video game class he took at Campus Regina!
The class had students from high schools all across Regina and 13 different games being demoed at the end of the year!
Beyond getting regular updates about the game’s progress, a highlight will always be a car ride home from an appointment where Pace excitedly took me through all the various drum loops and music samples that he had created.
My first boss in libraries told me how important it was to have a team that had varied backgrounds and skill sets.
“Everybody thinks it would be better to have a bunch of underlings who were just like them but that’s the worst thing you could have.”
(Of course there was some irony that two of his librarians were reservists in the military so very deferential to authority by training and the other was from a cultural background that is stereotyped for being deferential and quiet.)
Anyhow, it’s the old “Team of Rivals” thing – much harder for a manager/supervisor but much better for the overall organization in the long run.
And honestly, “Rivals” isn’t even a great word but “Team of Complementary Pieces” doesn’t have the same ring! 😉
