“Level-Up” your learning this summer with Video Game Design Camp! Through interactive storytelling and compelling level design, video games provide entertainment and practice for problem-solving skills, hand-eye coordination, and creative thinking. There are no prerequisites for the camp.
Immersed in the study and practice of games, we will cover the creative and technical aspects of game design as well as how to use a compelling narrative to drive the direction of your game. Participants will design and program fully functional video games from start to finish with characters, levels, backgrounds, and custom features. At the end of the week, the campers will share their portfolio of games in a demo event with friends and family.
We understand that the online camps will look a little different than the in-person camps. You can learn more about what Virtual Video Game Design camp will look like here.
