The Computer Game Design, Programming, Multimedia and Mathematics cluster of the Australian Schools Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics Project is funded by a grant from the Federal Department of Education, Science and Training.

The cluster aims to draw on the motivating power of computer games to improve outcomes in design, programming, multimedia and mathematics. Based on constructivist learning theory, develops computer club programs in cluster schools. A range of versatile programming tools (e.g. Gamemaker, Stagecast, Klick and Play) is used to motivate and engage students. There are also associated professional development courses, web resources and game programming forums. Outcomes include web-based curriculum materials, teacher forums, teacher in-service, game programming competitions, case studies and student authored web pages.
