This class focuses on building computer games. Kids 9-13 years old.
Children love games, especially computer games. They talk about them, they play them, and they brag about their accomplishments. Children also love to challenge each other in these games, so much so that an entire industry has developed around playing games online.
Yet, children seek to understand how people make the computer games they play. How does the video game know where the special coins are in Super Mario? How does it know when Zelda saves the Princess? Our Game Design class shows them the answers.
Children will learn how to create gaming characters. They will also learn how to create rules so their characters can pick up gold coins but not accidentally walk through walls. Together, the students write a story for their character and design a video game to coincide. The children will play each other’s game, offering compliments, suggestions, and encouragement along the way.
Students do not need programming experience prior to taking the Game Design class. This class is a great introduction into basic video game design. Videos and pictures will be sent home with each student to show what their children accomplished in class.
