Campers gain foundational coding and game design skills by creating tangible 2D video games and interactive Roblox experiences, fostering creativity and problem-solving in a collaborative environment.
This camp is designed for young creators interested in game development. Campers will learn to plan, build, and test their own video games, starting with an introductory 2D project and progressing to interactive experiences within Roblox Studio. The curriculum emphasizes core skills such as transforming game ideas into structured design plans, designing progressively challenging levels, and incorporating graphics, animations, and sound to enhance player experience. Students will utilize basic coding and logic to control game elements like movement, scoring, and rules, and practice testing and debugging to refine gameplay. The program also fosters collaborative development, with students working in pairs or small teams to communicate ideas, divide tasks, and provide constructive feedback, mirroring professional game studio environments.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where campers brainstorm game ideas, design levels, and implement basic coding concepts to bring their video games and Roblox experiences to life, often working in small teams.
This camp is ideal for students in grades 4-6 who love video games and are curious about how games work, eager to move from playing to creating.
