Kirkja

Kirkja Leikjahönnunar is organized around interwoven systems of education and software development. We believe that knowledge should be freely shared with anyone seeking to improve their understanding and skill of development crafts. We strive to provide simple resources and material training toward our participant's desired skill-set in a focused area of the arts, languages, or computer sciences; tailored to one's desired proficiency outcomes. Kirkja activities and playgrounds are compatible with the free and open-source MIT license.

Kirkja is:

• game development systems, split across several git repositories.
• a suite of actively developed open-source creative tools, scripts and plugins, to help instructors create interactive media for the classroom.
• a digital neighborhood of relationships, built from the pooled experience of community contributors.
• a training ground for honing one's digital media disciplines.
• a library of language learning, communication, and narrative expression.
• an actively iterated organization in its fledgling stages.

Operations

Kirkja is operated by dedicated educators, comic artists, mechanics, game developers, physicists, and computer technicians who take pride in their ability to experiment with the craft of problem-solving-for-fun.
