This university-affiliated program allows rising 7th-9th graders to move from game players to game creators, developing tangible video games and Roblox experiences using industry-relevant tools and languages.
This UNC Charlotte Niner Academy camp is designed for rising 7th-9th graders interested in game design and Roblox coding. Participants will learn to plan and build their first video game, utilizing Lua programming within Roblox Studio. The curriculum focuses on transforming game ideas into structured concepts, designing progressively challenging levels, and incorporating graphics, animations, and sound to enhance player experience. Students will gain practical skills in coding and logic to control game elements like movement, scoring, and rules. The camp also emphasizes testing and debugging to refine gameplay, providing a foundational understanding of real-world coding and game development principles. Campers will leave with their own created games and enhanced digital creativity and problem-solving abilities.
A typical day involves hands-on activities where campers brainstorm game ideas, design levels, write code using Lua in Roblox Studio, and test their creations, with guidance from instructors.
This camp is ideal for middle school students (rising grades 7-9) who enjoy playing video games, especially Roblox, and are curious about how games are made and want to learn coding and game design.
