Trash Monsters win game design award

Mill Plain — The Trash Monsters, a team made up of Pacific Middle School students, picked up the “Game Design Award” in their division May 4 at the annual Oregon Game Project Challenge in Salem, Ore. Teams competed by presenting unique computer games to judges, who picked the winners by tallying points gained by completing special challenges, both known and secret. The Technology Association of Oregon’s TechStart Education Foundation created the competition, now in its sixth year. Learn more about the Oregon Game Project Challenge.
