Video Game Design Summer Camp
In this Game Design Camp, we transform your child’s love for video games into valuable STEM skills or maybe even a career. We’re all about turning your gamer into a game developer!
What Kids Learn in Game Design Camp
In this Video Game Design Camp, kids take their passion for video games to a new level. In fact, they develop their own playable video games. The games developed in this tech camp are an array of arcade-style video games. Consequently, they learn character development, environment creation, and innovative gameplay with GameMaker software.
Kids are provided access to a copy of the GameMaker software and a library of graphics and music files to continue to develop the video games they create in tech camp or create new ones. Video games developed in this tech camp are saved on a complimentary USB drive that can be loaded on to Windows computers for friends and family to play.
