You don't have to actually make any games with Block Studio, but do learn how it works as much as you can.  After that [https://www.blockstud.io/bsp/bsp_games/ survey the published projects].

=== Social Computing ===

We have a special guest this week: [http://www.andresmh.com/ Andrés Monroy-Hernandez!] Andrés was previously at Microsoft Research and is currently a lead research scientist at Snap Inc., the maker of Snapchat.  Andrés has research interests ranging from civic communities to educational communities and more recently he is focusing on "social computing systems," which we will learn about today.
