You know, if I found 160 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:29,320 something that I think, you know, they're struggling with, I already, you know, 161 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,300 instead of them calling me to ask questions, I voluntarily, you know, tell 162 00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:39,920 them, hey, this is what you need to do. Right? Yeah. So that is what I do. 163 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:46,960 So you help them if they are struggling. Yeah. So like any good teacher and 164 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:53,600 facilitator in schools. So there's an example of Mark helping one of the 165 00:11:53,600 --> 00:12:00,440 students who asked for some help and explaining the curriculum. So let's get 166 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:06,560 into that. Explain to me the process. What does the workshop, how does it, how 167 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:11,880 is it going? What happened? You gave me a lot of updates, but please in your 168 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,040 own words and then we'll go back through all the other stuff you asked, you told 169 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:23,720 me. Yeah. So as for the workshop, there's really, I don't know, there's really no 170 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:32,400 process that I'm actually, you know, following. What I wanted to do is, you 171 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:38,960 know, to make the workshop fun and not boring. And so that the students will 172 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:45,080 not feel that they are learning, but instead they would feel that they're just 173 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:52,080 there, you know, creating games, sharing our games, and then just, you know, again, 174 00:12:52,080 --> 00:13:00,160 having fun. So the only, you know, the process that I followed was on the first 175 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:06,680 day when I do a presentation, like a slide that I created in Canaveral. And 176 00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:14,360 there's like a welcome video from our dear country manager from San Luis 177 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,920 Southeast Asia, Mr. George Wong. He actually recorded a video. Yeah, I 178 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:29,520 should have shared it to you earlier. That's okay. Next time. Yeah. Yeah. And 179 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:37,000 yeah, so after that, I told them, you know, our agenda for the four days of 180 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:47,640 workshop. So, and by the way, Sanfam, I'm very sorry, you know, the schedule, the 181 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:54,760 process that I've written on the SIF wasn't followed, but I actually made sure 182 00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:01,240 that, you know, every end of the workshop, you know, the students will learn 183 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,640 something and there will be competitive in terms of, you know, building games, 184 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:12,760 especially, you know, joining a game gap. That is what my mission is actually, you 185 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:21,640 know, to breed, you know, new broad talents of game designer for our 186 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:31,080 community. Yeah. Well, what's clear is that you're doing it. So even if 187 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,400 you didn't follow the timeline exactly, just looking at these pictures 188 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,840 alone, you already hosted two of the workshop days. How many people have you 189 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:50,760 taught so far? Well, first, I was expecting like there are 80 of them who 190 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:59,400 signed up online. And then when we started the workshop, there are other 191 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:06,920 like walk-ins, just wanted to join in. And I was like, they were like, hey, sir, 192 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:12,280 Mark, is that okay if we join your class? So I was like, no problem. As long as 193 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:19,480 there's an available computer, let's do this. And then, yeah, and then what else? 194 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:26,520 Yeah, other than, you know, college students, there are also senior high 195 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:32,440 school students who also joined us and they're actually very good. Yeah, 196 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:39,480 those three guys are really good. They're still in high school. So what else? 197 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,960 So 80 signed up, there were walk-ins. How many have attended so far? I think you 198 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:53,120 said 91 have attended. Yeah, 91 total. 91. So just just classes one and two. I'm 199 00:15:53,120 --> 00:16:00,120 sorry, days one and two. Yeah, days one and two. 91 people you've taught so far 200 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:10,200 days one and two. Yeah. Wow. All right. Yeah, I couldn't say no to those students 201 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:17,800 who really wanted to join me. But, you know, the student council who also helped 202 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,480 me out, they're the ones, you know, just telling them, hey, we can still do the 203 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:30,160 workshop after this. You know, we can do part two. And I was like, yeah, why not? 204 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:37,280 Let's let's let's do it. There are a lot of students who are eager to join and 205 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:45,360 learn. And I would like to shout out to the the student council, the Junior 206 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:53,280 Information and Communication Technology Council, and the NCSD eSports Club. They 207 00:16:53,280 --> 00:17:03,800 helped me out with everything. It's like, yeah, they're very big help. And you and 208 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:16,040 and so you only expected 45 people. Did you say? Based on my shift, what I put 209 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:24,200 there is a minimum of 20 students, maximum of 40. So you're already well 210 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:34,360 over that. Yeah. When I saw the Google response, I was like, Jesus, is this like 211 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:39,440 80 students? And there are also like other, you know, other students who also 212 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,560 would like to join in. I was like, yeah, sure. But, you know, you need to get in 213 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,480 touch with, you need to get in touch first with your student council if they 214 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:54,680 would allow it. But I'm all good. I'm all good with that. And so you wait. So your 215 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:59,720 SIP said a minimum of 20 and a max of 40. Was it per class or per workshop or per 216 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:08,240 day? That's only per class. Per class. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So but instead, 80 217 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:14,000 people signed up and then there were 91 total if you include walk-ins just in 218 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:24,040 two days alone. Yes, that's right. Go ahead. Yeah. One funny thing is that, you 219 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:30,080 know, Jeff, the brand manager, he told me that, yes, there are two labs, two 220 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:39,240 computer labs. He asked me if it's okay that, you know, we use a like a 221 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,960 microphone and connect it to the other room so that we can accommodate like two 222 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:53,160 classes at once. Sure. I was like, I was thinking, yeah, we can do that. But, you know, it's, I don't know, it's, I think it's very unfair 223 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,800 for the other students on the other room that I will not be able to like 224 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:04,680 interact with them personally. So, yeah. So, yeah, I told him, yeah, we can just, you know, 225 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:11,560 focus on like once, one class and we can do three classes for one day. No worries. 226 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:19,440 So, it was fun. Yeah, I was, I actually enjoyed it. The only problem on my day one, 227 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:30,560 I almost lost my voice. It's like my throat really hurts. Yeah. Yeah, but I really don't care. It was fun. Yeah. 228 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:38,280 So, you, okay, all right. So, let's get this math. So, your SIP projected a max of 40 229 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,520 per class, but so many people signed up that you ended up doing three classes in 230 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:49,880 one day and across two days of your four days you plan for the workshop just at 231 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,280 one school, you've taught 91 students. How many more do you expect to teach by 232 00:19:54,280 --> 00:20:03,760 the end of day four? Actually, they told me that on Monday, on day three, there 233 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:12,720 would be like instructors from the college who also wanted to join because 234 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:22,040 yeah, Mr. Emerson wanted sandbox, sandbox academy to be part of their 235 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:29,440 curriculum. So, whoa, at the local college, what college was it? Yeah, National 236 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:36,600 College of Science and Technology. Yeah, that's the college I'm doing the 237 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:42,840 workshop right now. So, I was like, yeah, that is actually also one of my plans. 238 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:48,560 It's like the train the trainer program. Yes, it is. That is most definitely train 239 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:55,920 the trainer. Yeah, I remember that. We talked about that in our last podcast. 240 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,400 So, I was like, yeah, let's do this. So, that's how when I go to the next 241 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:06,560 university, you know, the other trainers that I will be training will continue 242 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:16,520 the workshop on ICSD. And they wanted to they want to hire you on as their 243 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:29,080 lead trainer. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy, Mark. That's crazy. I know. I know, right? Yeah, sure. 244 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:36,880 And you know what? One other thing would be like Mr. Emerson told me that, hey, 245 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,720 Mark, I did you finish your college? I was like, no, I was undergraduate. It was 246 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:48,720 like, study here, finish your college here for free. I was like, I'm too old to 247 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:56,320 finish that. So, like, I don't care. Study here. Okay. Yeah, I'm also like 248 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,720 thinking of, you know, continuing my college and finishing it at ICSD. 249 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,520 So that you can become one of the professors. We're gonna be calling you 250 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:13,400 Professor Mark. I don't know. It makes me feel old. Yeah. I don't even want my 251 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:19,120 students to call me sir. I wanted them to just call me Mark. And by the way, the 252 00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:26,040 other students were not participants or attendees to the workshop. When I walk 253 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:38,280 around the campus, they're calling me as Sir Sandbox. They call me Sir Sandbox. 254 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:45,240 I'm going to, I'm gonna write that one down. So tell me, Mr. Emerson was the, it 255 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:54,480 was the president? Yeah, president and CEO. Yeah, of NCST. Of NCST, National College 256 00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:04,200 of Science and Technology. Yep. Got it. Wow, Mark. Wow. That right there. I mean, 257 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,640 you can just tell from the pictures, but that right there, this is what, for those 258 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,120 of you watching, this is what impact looks like. This is what it, this is what 259 00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:18,360 it looks like to put our SIP dollars toward teaching the next generation. When 260 00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:23,160 we're looking at the ecosystem, not only are we affecting the product, as in 261 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,400 using VoxEdit and GameMaker, but we're creating the next generation of 262 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,600 GameMakers and Voxel artists. Right there. You're witnessing the teaching 263 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:40,560 happening. And then you're also, you have a lead on, on now Mr. Emerson, who's the 264 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,800 president of the college, wants you to finish your degree so that you become 265 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:51,120 not just Sir Sandbox, but Professor Sandbox and teaching it at the college, I 266 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:57,600 guess, full-time? Like in the future as an instructor of some sort? Yeah, most 267 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:04,400 likely, yeah. Geez. Geez. Okay, so what's the part about the two weeks they're 268 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:11,800 going to the assembly hall and the award winners? What's that? Oh yeah. So the 269 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:19,640 agenda for the artist schedule of my workshop is day one, we go, we do basics 270 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:25,360 on VoxEdit and then, you know, some presentations and then introducing the 271 00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:34,560 students to the sandbox and also sandboxed out. And then on day two, we go 272 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:44,560 to GameMaker. So we just did the basics. And then on day three, which would be on Monday, 273 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:53,760 yeah, on Monday, we will go advanced GameMaker mechanics. We go to the 274 00:24:53,760 --> 00:25:05,360 system. And then on day four, so we will go to the assembly hall. Because, oh yeah, 275 00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:10,920 let's go back to day three. Day three, I will announce the start of the internal 276 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:17,560 game jam for NCSD. You can do an internal game jam, okay. Yeah, so they have two 277 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:28,640 weeks to do their own game. And then on the first day, after two weeks, we'll go 278 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:37,560 to the assembly hall. I will announce the winners. We'll do the pizza party. So 279 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:44,680 what else? Yeah, I'll also give them like certificates, like physical paper 280 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:50,720 certificates and NFT. And by the way, I would like to shout out to one of the 281 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:58,760 best Voxel artists and sandboxed hulianco in Indonesia. So he'll be the one creating 282 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:08,920 the NFT certificate passes for our students. So they're gonna get an NFT 283 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:17,720 certificate. Yeah, that's right. And that NFT certificate, is it gonna be like 284 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:26,600 in the sandbox or something? Where they get to? Wow. Yeah, I'll go to them. So I think 285 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:34,720 then I just use like a common catalyst to save the funds. Yeah. And by the way, on the 286 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:42,680 fourth day, I will also give them the sandbox enemy t-shirts. Yeah. All 91 of 287 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:49,640 them. And of course, I will also give my t-shirts to the faculty and the student 288 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:55,880 council. Yeah. Just like a token of, you know, thanks for helping us out. Yeah, you know 289 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:01,280 what, I want to do another follow up sometime in the future. But I want to see 290 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:07,560 a video of the presentation of the awards, if possible. And then I 291 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,360 want to see that trailer from the day one. So that's just earmarks for next 292 00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:15,720 time. You can, you know, it doesn't even have to be the first school. But I 293 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,240 definitely, I want to show people that too. Because I think that would be awesome. 294 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:26,840 But cool. So your day two of day four, day one is you do the basics of VoxArt, 295 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,880 VoxEdit, and you introduce students to not only the sandbox, but also to the 296 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:38,480 DAO. That's cool. Day two, you do Game Maker. Game three, you do advanced Game 297 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,680 Maker mechanics. And then you announce the internal game jam. And then they 298 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:50,320 started two weeks, they start two weeks to build a game. Day four, day four, you go 299 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,520 to the assembly hall, you announce the winners of the game jam. Yep, that's 300 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:02,160 right. So day three. Okay, so then between day three and day four is two weeks. 301 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,200 Yeah, that's right. Okay, so you're gonna return back to this this college or 302 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:14,800 the school in two weeks. Got it. Yes. Okay. And that's where you'll announce 303 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,600 the winners the pizza party, hand out the t shirts, and the winners will get a 304 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:25,840 certificate, an FT certificate and the sandbox. Like a paper certificate, an 305 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,920 actual paper. Okay. An FT and paper certificate. This is really well thought 306 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:39,600 out, Mark. This is really well thought out. Sir sandbox. Sir sandbox. That's 307 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:47,560 funny. I'm gonna call you sir sandbox from now on. All right. And then you tell 308 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:53,520 me about the part where you you talked about you have a college wide talk about 309 00:28:53,540 --> 00:28:55,480 what the sandbox is. Was that on day one? 310 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:06,520 Oh, I'm planning to do that on day four. So that will be on day four. That will 311 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,640 be is like a town hall. I will be inviting you know, the students to attend 312 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,840 just to you know, to educate them what sandbox game is, you know, 313 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:29,040 of NCST. Yeah, yeah. So everything that I'll be I'm actually doing at NCST, I 314 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:35,240 will also do this to the other universities. So and that's where you 315 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,320 you want to what do you want to do that you want to teach them about sandbox or 316 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,080 or what? 317 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:47,120 Yeah, just, you know, try to introduce them what sandbox is. And then, of 318 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:54,640 course, I will let them you know, register and create an account for 319 00:29:54,680 --> 00:30:02,600 sandbox. So that would be so those would be the players. So since I'm already 320 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,520 there, why not, you know, not just registered builders, but also players, 321 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,600 right? To make the community, you know, bigger, just, you know, and one 322 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,480 university, how many students are there? Like, more than 1000? 323 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,360 Yeah, more than 1000. Wow. 324 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,000 You know, that like register them all. 325 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,880 Mark, I'm just gonna say this out loud. I think you should when you register 326 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,200 them, give them your referral code for Alpha season four, so that you can get 327 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,120 the referral rewards. 328 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,200 No, that's not aware of that the referral code. 329 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:46,440 Oh, my gosh, Mark, let me show you how to get to that referral code. And then you 330 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,760 you have everyone registered with your froko. I think you've earned that much. I 331 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,760 don't think there's a I don't think that's unethical at all. That's just my 332 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,240 opinion. But I mean, you're the one teaching them so you should get 333 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,680 right on good, good, good, good. So you're going to conduct a town hall 334 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,480 inviting all of the National College of Science and Technology students to 335 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,840 introduce them to the sandbox and register them their register accounts 336 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:21,000 and to add them to the San Fam community. Then they become San Fam as gamers, at 337 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:21,720 the very least. 338 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,240 Yeah. Yeah. 339 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:26,200 Good. 340 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,480 You're seeing my referral code. 341 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,680 Yes, using your referral code. 342 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:37,440 Cool. Cool. That is an awesome, awesome update. So that's the sandbox academy. 343 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,560 And tell me how many more colleges or how many more workshops are you going to 344 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:42,920 do? 345 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:51,240 Well, based on my set, that would be had five more, because I have been 346 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:59,600 indicated like six. Right. So one, one is universities, and one is 347 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:06,520 universities for a month. But I don't think you would be able to like, follow 348 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,920 the, you know, that number of colleges, because I think there would be more. 349 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,400 You think there would be more? Okay. Yeah. 350 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:21,480 Well, don't be shy at all. If you start to run out of funds at like workshop 351 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:27,760 five, and you have four more, don't, don't feel the pressure to take all that on 352 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,840 with the budget you've asked for. If you get to that fifth workshop, and you have 353 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:38,840 six more, I think the community would would appreciate seeing a sip for the 354 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:46,280 other five or however many. That's my opinion. But I don't take this all on by 355 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:52,360 yourself, especially it's clear you're creating new San Fam members, like not 356 00:32:52,360 --> 00:33:02,080 just not just one or two, 91 by day two, 91 students. Yeah. And then not not to 357 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,320 mention how many are going to come to the town hall on day four, the whole 358 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:12,040 college that you're inviting all the new gamers that were registering, dude, ask 359 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,760 for more money once you complete that fifth workshop that you asked for in the 360 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:20,520 sips. Don't don't take the rest of it yourself. Just my opinion, but I would 361 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:28,400 highly advocate for that. I will. By the way, I was also thinking that if it's not 362 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,480 on the assembly hall, because I think that Samuel can only accommodate like 363 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:39,560 200 students. So most likely, if they would allow me, I'll do it on the open 364 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:44,600 grounds. So it's like a concert. You definitely lose your voice there, Mark. 365 00:33:44,600 --> 00:34:03,920 You're gonna lose your voice there for sure. That's fine with me. Wow. All right. So there's some residual questions that I had just from from us talking about our updates. Let's go to. So the first college wanted more than just a 366 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:30,080 workshop. So NCST wanted more than just a workshop. What do they mean by that? They wanted to make the sandbox academy like a, they call that like a special curriculum or elective for their for their students. Yeah. At the college, like an actual elective course. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Wow. 367 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:53,440 I mean, that's, that's just impressive, man. That is just impressive. Mark. Yeah, yeah, I really can, you know, have done this without your with the help of sense them, you know, and, you know, sandbox now, everyone, every single people who helped me, especially, you 368 00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:18,400 know, Mr. Emerson, Tinasu actually gave what am I going to do there? You know, and what I will be teaching or it's like so, so very thankful to them and overwhelmed as well. I was like, they have a lot of plans. I will share it to you on our next podcast. NCST has a lot of plans. 369 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:45,280 Good. Good. So I'm starting a video, not video. I'm starting a list. So for the next podcast, we're going to talk about the opening trainer video was the second thing. Oh, the award ceremony. And the award ceremony if possible, or just pictures or a video. And the third thing was you wanted to share. What was it you just mentioned? 370 00:35:45,280 --> 00:36:15,200 I forgot me too. You know, I'll go back to the recording and then I'll I'll make sure to say something. So we'll put a reminder. Look at the third thing we talked about and forgot about this time. All right. Good. Very good. So they call you Sir Sandbox around the campus. And after after you complete your finish your degree, you're going to be able to go to the next one. 371 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,800 Then you become Professor Sandbox around the campus. 372 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,480 Yeah, that's cool. 373 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:46,360 I will then become Professor Sandbox. I'd rather just, you know, just teach. Because, you know, instead of me like, you know, you know, learning or finish my degree, I just, you know, use that time to just, you know, teach the kids, you know, creating games. 374 00:36:46,360 --> 00:37:06,120 Right. Yeah. But Mark, I don't think I don't think you should feel bad at all about taking care of yourself. You are clearly taking care of San Fam right now by teaching the kids. And that doesn't stop. If you choose to continue your education. That's there's no problem with that at all. I don't think you should feel bad about it. 375 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,000 I'm too old for that. 376 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:18,200 Yeah, I can understand that part. I can understand that. At some point, it's like, I mean, the younger younger days in the younger days. 377 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:28,280 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, why not? But now? Yeah, I'd rather just, you know, teach the kids, the kids know, the next generation of designers. 378 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:34,280 All right. So tell me about Sandbox Academy, Saudi Arabia. You mentioned that what's going on there. 379 00:37:34,280 --> 00:38:02,200 Oh, yeah. So remember, like, before I started Sandbox Academy, I conducted like a small workshop for our friends and on Sandbox Saudi Arabia with the help of Mr. George Wong. And then he connected me to Mr. Bilal Yamal. 380 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:18,440 Mr. Bilal Yamal, the country manager of Saudi Arabia. So we have conducted like a like a three hour crash course for BoxEdit and GameMaker. 381 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:34,920 And then one of the participants is actually a like, what do you call that? He is into crypto, NFT and metaverse. He reached out to me. 382 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:43,240 And then he asked me, hey, man, can you create a game for me? It's like, like a simple, like a social hub. I was like, yeah, no problem. 383 00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:52,680 So I created one for him. We called the Crystal or the Glassroom, which I also posted on Twitter. 384 00:38:53,880 --> 00:39:06,200 And there's like, and then he told me, hey, what's your wallet address? Your Ethereum wallet address? I gave it to him without, you know, yeah. 385 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:17,000 And then he sent me like a like a talent tree for the experience that I created that is not yet finished yet. 386 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:27,240 So I was like, Jesus, I was like very happy because during that time, I really don't have like a fixed job. 387 00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:38,920 So, yeah. And then that is where our like our relationship, you know, grew. 388 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:48,360 And then I was like, we were like already planning what to do about, you know, sandboxing having me, Saudi Arabia. 389 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:59,240 So it will be so I'll just go ahead and replicate what we're doing here at NCSE. 390 00:39:59,240 --> 00:40:06,200 But the only difference is I will be teaching trainers in Saudi Arabia. 391 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:12,440 And there will be the trainers will be teaching sandbox in their own language. 392 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:22,040 So in Arabic. In Arabic. Yeah. OK. Yeah. So that is one of the plans. 393 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:34,680 And I don't know if it's OK if I also share this, but we are also planning to like join an event on February. 394 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:42,600 It's like a crypto event in Saudi Arabia and they will be asking you to go there. 395 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:47,160 So it will be my first time to get outside the Philippines. 396 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:56,040 So it's a it's a very, very exciting times. Yeah, it sounds exciting. 397 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,640 Yeah, I can't remember. I just had a guest on. It was one of the delegates. 398 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:12,680 I believe it might have been crypto Moe who mentioned who mentioned an interest in also connecting with you. 399 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,440 To to start a sandbox academy, I think it was crypto Moe. 400 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:22,520 It might have been. Might have been airway. 401 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:29,320 I have to go back, but I just I mean, I've done my gosh, 10 delegate interviews in the past seven days. 402 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:34,440 So my my brain is all smushed right now, but it was someone just the past few days. 403 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:43,080 We talked about Sandbox Academy and how they would they would like to they would be interested in doing that with you. 404 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,920 So I asked him, I think I asked him to reach out to you. I'm sure I did. 405 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:52,920 So so the Sandbox Academy is growing already into Saudi Arabia. 406 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,520 And then I remember in the chat one day you were talking about that with I think Roxy in Ecuador. 407 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:09,960 Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's also like very interested to have Sandbox Academy in Ecuador and also took my friends. 408 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:17,560 And I'm Joyce. He's from India. So he is also a builder from Sandbox. 409 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:25,480 And then the other one is Pepper from from Indonesia. 410 00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:30,520 So they're also, you know, wow, wow. 411 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:38,680 Wanted to have a lot of I think I think you stumbled upon a real a real idea, a real thing that is taking taking root. 412 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:45,160 So not just a sandbox academy in the Philippines, but you doing train the trainer events. 413 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:57,880 To different trainers in different countries who themselves will like maybe oversee a branch of Sandbox Academy in Saudi Arabia and perhaps Ecuador and India and Indonesia. 414 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,640 Wow, man. This is so cool. 415 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:10,760 This is so good to see this this idea turn into real impacting real people and real lives and real students. 416 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:15,560 I actually didn't expect that to happen. 417 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:28,680 It's like I just I know that I'll be conducting like like like a regular workshop for like 20 to 40 students. 418 00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:36,360 You know, but yeah, well, compared to other workshops that I've done before, 419 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:49,480 I really wanted to, you know, to have to let the students, you know, I know almost everything about GameMaker and not just like a one time deal of a workshop. 420 00:43:49,480 --> 00:44:02,280 So that's the reason why for NCSD, I've asked them via the student council to create like a group chat for for the for all of the builders. 421 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:25,720 So that if you have if they have any questions for me, I can go ahead and, you know, answer that even if you already have finished the workshop and have the time, I can also go there, you know, to ask questions, assist them, especially if they are already planning to like join the game jams for global. 422 00:44:25,720 --> 00:44:36,440 Gotcha. And what just occurred to me is I want to buy one of your shirts. 423 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:41,080 I want to buy one of your shirts so that when I podcast, I can I can wear it. 424 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,840 I'll give it to you for free. 425 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:53,640 But yeah, how much would it be for the spent for, you know, when I send it to you? 426 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,440 I'm not sure you're in the US, right? I'll pay for the shipping. 427 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,360 Yeah, I'm in the US. I'll pay for the shipping. 428 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:07,160 That's OK. Just I want I want probably a couple shirts because of how much I podcast now. 429 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,920 Sure. Yeah, I would love to wear the sandbox academy shirt. 430 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:15,160 OK, great. There's one there's one topic left. 431 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,840 I didn't see any community questions that we haven't already answered. 432 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:25,400 There's one topic left. Something I noted, I've been more than paying more attention to this lately 433 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:32,040 as I've been kind of watching different different videos of different people like I watched a lot of 434 00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:41,000 Shannon Snow, who's the CEO, CEO of World of Women, love World of Women, by the way, I have I run 435 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:47,640 around with my Wow, G avatar all the time in the sandbox, but not just listening only to her, 436 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:54,760 but also in a Moja, who is. On the advisory board and Shannon Snow is on the special council 437 00:45:54,760 --> 00:46:00,280 and then talking to Dr. Loretta Chen, whose advisory council, she's the she's one of the 438 00:46:01,240 --> 00:46:08,120 the founders of Smobler, Smobler Studios. Yeah, so some something that I noticed while talking to 439 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:16,680 them and others just watching other videos is the male to female ratio and trying to to encourage 440 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:24,600 more women, more females into into the space, not just crypto, but gaming, where the numbers, 441 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,800 they're not as represented, they're underrepresented. And I think what I remember, 442 00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:35,240 I was trying to find the exact quote, but I remember a recent video I watched a chance now 443 00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:42,200 on a podcast where she she mentioned that usually that she's seen for about 40 percent, 444 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:51,160 like max 40 percent max on discord is far lower of female to male ratio. So 40 percent female, 445 00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,280 60 percent male. When I was looking at some of your pictures, I noticed 446 00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:03,000 there are a lot of a lot of women female students. Can you tell me about that? What do you see in 447 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:13,560 there? I actually think these really don't, you know, like measure or gauge the the number of 448 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:20,680 men and women, because for us, it's like they're, you know, we're all at the same, you know, same 449 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:28,920 level, you know. So yeah, but one thing that I've noticed with this girls at NCSD, they're quite 450 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:35,640 good, especially in box edit. I was like, I want the boys like, hey, boys, be careful with the girls 451 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:46,600 here. So I, you know, I showed them their, their work site. The boys were like, oh, okay. So and 452 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:52,200 what they did, what they did, some of them is they, you know, talk to the, you know, to the other 453 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:59,800 girls and, you know, some of the students, they already have formed their own team, like collaborating 454 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:09,560 for the for the game job. So, oh, yeah, but nice. Okay. Yeah. I was so very happy to, you know, to 455 00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:18,520 to see them, you know, early as they want. They are already collaborating, you know, and 456 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:27,960 and yeah, and it's a, it's a mix of, you know, boys and girls in the team. And then what else? 457 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:34,440 Yeah, as for the ratio, yeah, I think one of the class is almost, you know, 458 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:44,440 the majority are girls. Wow. But don't see, I'll go to the, you know, on the, on our last day, 459 00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,720 I will, we'll have like a picture so that you can, you know, you can actually see how 460 00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:59,080 boys and girls are in the class or classes. Yeah. Yeah, that that would be, wow, that's pretty cool. 461 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:04,360 So as early as day one, they're girl, the girl teams are already collaborating together. And 462 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:11,160 you've already seen signs that the girl team has, the girls have started a girl team for game jam 463 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:20,280 that's going to start on day three. It's a mix of boys and girls. Yeah, a mix of boys and girls 464 00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:25,560 doing collaboration. But one of your classes looked like a majority of them were girls. 465 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:34,760 I think one of the class, one of the classes. Yeah. Yeah. That was just something I noted that 466 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:40,760 I wanted to just talk with you about. Because it you can already see they're collaborating right 467 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:46,920 there, the three girls. And then there's other girls working by themselves and some working with, 468 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:52,120 you know, the boys and just, it was, it was an interesting thing that popped in my mind as I was 469 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:58,680 watching. But clearly, man, you are onto something. You, you are clearly onto something successful 470 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:05,560 here. The sandbox Academy, I think can become a flagship for education and, and student education, 471 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:12,040 let's call it. But you're, you're expanding into Saudi Arabia, potentially Ecuador and potentially 472 00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:18,680 Indonesia and India. And you're doing train the trainer events. This is this is something that 473 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:28,360 could become a worldwide San Fam international thing. As an international thing, man. 474 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:37,080 I actually want that is one of my, you know, one of my mission, you know, to, to have a sandbox 475 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:44,440 Academy be known globally. You know, because again, there are a lot of raw talents, you know, 476 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:50,840 in every single country. And, you know, but the thing there is that they are not aware what 477 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:57,960 sandbox is. So the one of the mission of sandbox Academy is, you know, putting sandbox Academy into 478 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:05,560 their doorsteps, you know, so this one we do, we'll teach you how to do it. So on my first day at 479 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:13,800 NCSD, they are not aware what sandbox is. So, but when I, you know, when they have research, 480 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:18,440 what sandbox is, that's the time that they got interested in. That's like, let's, let's try to 481 00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:26,280 do this because it's very rare for, you know, a group or organization to go to one college and 482 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:34,280 teach, you know, game design for free. So what we're giving here is like, you know, 483 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:41,160 they're actually surprised with what we're, what we are doing.

I mean, 490 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:26,440 you go straight to the sandbox style and then you go to the vision of the sandbox style. 491 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:32,200 It says we've imagined a world where our vibrant community of players, creators, owners, 492 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:39,000 and brands shape the future of the platform with us. This is you doing that. One community, 493 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:45,480 many parts, working with impact, empowerment, transparency. You're, you're doing all four of 494 00:52:45,480 --> 00:53:01,080 these things. So I, I give you, I give you, yeah. You're empowering those students.

So, uh, yeah. So again, my mission is to like make sandbox 499 00:53:31,720 --> 00:53:39,400 academy a global so that we can introduce the, you know, the game maker and box editor that 500 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:50,280 they as well can be, you know, a game designer. And again, I, I, I wanted the, you know, 501 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:58,440 sandbox academy to be free, you know, so just to, just to share to the other people who want 502 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:04,840 to sandbox academy in your own country. Yeah. Let's do this. So yeah, let's like, what's it, 503 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:10,280 what's it called that, what that term paid forward? Is it paid forward? That's right. 504 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:18,200 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So everyone, this was Sandow podcast 49. I had with me here, 505 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:26,040 Mark Baggo, who is the director, the founder and director of sandbox academy known as sir 506 00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:33,000 sandbox around the campus is that he's teaching right now. He's currently in day two of day four 507 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:41,240 of the first workshop of five that he asked for funds and sip number 12 that passed. And so this 508 00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:48,040 is him implementing the sip. And also I know the sandbox Dow admin team would love for you to share 509 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:53,720 your results with them so that they can update the sip thread to share those results on the forums. 510 00:54:53,720 --> 00:54:58,280 So they do that frequently when updates are given. And I have no doubt that they would love to do 511 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:06,360 that for this. So thank you. My friend. Yeah. Well, I'm in my day began. Actually, I've already 512 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:14,360 also been in the sip 12 on the forum and I think good chairs and video fair. Yeah, just to share to 513 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:24,120 the, uh, uh, the San Fran, Oh, by the way, before, yeah, you know, before we end the podcast, I also like to share the, uh, you know, 514 00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:32,120 there's one thing that I've discovered, uh, during the, uh, during day one, it's like, 515 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:39,720 I let the students, you know, get inside the classroom and just let them, you know, do their 516 00:55:39,720 --> 00:55:46,600 own thing, you know, play around with box edit for 15 minutes without me teaching them. And it was like, 517 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:55,400 when I entered, okay, they are good. And then after, after I have taught them, uh, the basics 518 00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:04,600 and the last 15 minutes of the, uh, of the class, uh, I asked them to like, uh, do another, you know, 519 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:13,160 uh, another asset. And then I compared to the ones that I, they have created 15, uh, like on the first 520 00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:23,560 15 minutes of the class. And it's like, it's the exponentially, uh, you know, uh, improved the way they, uh, 521 00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:31,000 do the, uh, do their art or their answer. So I'm also doing this for game maker. I'll just let them, 522 00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:39,240 you know, first 15 minutes, go ahead and click all the buttons, you know, and then do anything, 523 00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:44,280 do everything that you wanted to do, you know, try to explore. And then, and then I'll teach. 524 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:50,360 And then the last 15 minutes, I'll go then to ask them to, you know, to apply what they have learned. 525 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:58,680 And yeah, I think it's a very good, uh, like, uh, style to, uh, you know, and how to teach them. 526 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:06,040 So it just came to me on day one. That's cool. I want to add that to our next follow up. I want to see 527 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:13,160 a piece of a Vox art asset that they created the first 15 minutes. I don't want to see that same 528 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:18,760 student who created one at the end, if possible, that way we can show the improvements, dude, man, 529 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:25,080 what better way to show the impact? Yeah, that's true. That's true. Cool. I just added that to our list. 530 00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:33,880 Yeah. And I'm also doing like, uh, uh, shooting like a live video and what they're doing because, 531 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:40,840 uh, that is what, uh, Seb told me when we met here in the Philippines and Manila. 532 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:48,440 So he asked me that, uh, uh, if it's okay, try to take a video on, you know, on the, uh, the screen 533 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:55,320 of the, uh, of the students, we can actually see what they are doing. And that's the reason why, 534 00:57:55,960 --> 00:58:02,920 you know, I asked one of the, uh, uh, actually the president of the student console, uh, her name is 535 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:08,840 Nicole. So she's the one taking videos and of the, uh, you know, the screen of the, uh, 536 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:17,720 uh, the students and what they're doing and being like, oh, yeah, it was a subset request. I did it. 537 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:26,360 It's actually good. Very good, man. Very good. Well, thank you again for your time. And I just 538 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:31,800 updated the thumbnail to make sure that and remind me, what was the gentleman's name, uh, 539 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,960 that you went to YGG and took the picture with Seb? 540 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:44,360 His name is, uh, Jeff. Uh, let's, uh, yeah, let me, uh, 541 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:52,440 so Mark, Mark and Jeff at YGG with Seb here just a few days ago. And 542 00:58:54,280 --> 00:59:03,160 that'll conclude Sandel podcast 49, a SIP follow-up of, of SIP number 12, the Sandbox Academy 543 00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:09,000 working through their first of five workshops at just one college already taught 90 students. 544 00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:18,840 Yeah.
