LCHS students tackle challenge of creating 'Wolf Pup Project'

COEUR d'ALENE - Students studying web game design this year at Lake City High School will spend the next few weeks thinking about the challenges facing incoming freshmen. Teacher Scott Jacobson calls it the "Wolf Pup Project." It is a class assignment that tasks students with creating a web browser adventure game that targets eighth-graders making the transition to high school. The game's objective, Jacobson said, is to help make the switch less traumatic.
