With interactive content that is project-based and correlated to Common Core Standards, the Zulama curriculum, which is currently being implemented in nearly 50 school districts throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio, is concentrated on topics such as the evolution of games, game design and programming, 3D modeling, mobile game design, and screenwriting, among others.
