Class Experience
Learn to build your own video games!
Explore the art of game design, as you plan, code, build, and create your very own video games in Roblox and Scratch! Starting with coding our own game from "Scratch," kids will design the look and feel of a platform game. Think Mario Brothers, Sonic, and Kirby games. Campers use scratch to create their own sprites, platform levels, and backgrounds. They will use scratch’s node based programming interface as an introduction to coding to bring their game to life. Next participants will dive into more complex coding and 3D game design as we learn to develop our own games in Roblox. Make an adventure obstacle course with traps and power-ups; create your very own spaceship and race it on an alien planet; practice skills like 3D modeling and coding as you publish games on your own server for friends and family to play. Teachers will also go over how to monetize your games, clothing, and other VR built elements to gain Robux. Kids will finish the week with several games to share with friends as a new understanding of coding. A Roblox account is necessary to participate, we ask that you set this up in advance and we will request the login information before the start of camp.
Over The Week Campers Will:
- Dive into coding techniques using both the Roblox platform, as well as various other age-appropriate gaming platforms
- Discuss online safety and security
- Learn the fundamentals of Art Direction in games through a series. of smaller exercises and in completing a final game
- Practice design both digitally as well as on paper
Ages: 7 - 13 (grouped by age)
*A great camp to take multiple weeks, and level up your skills each time you take it!
