Video Game Creation (Grades 2-3)
Grades 2-3
What’s more fun than playing video games? Creating your own. And in this six-week program, young gamers will become video game designers and coders with the Video Game Creation program featuring the Codeverse platform. Through live classes, guided challenges, and video tutorials, they’ll learn elements of game design and pick up the coding skills they need to turn those designs to reality, culminating in the creation of a game they can play with their friends and family.
This six-week class is one component of the Video Game Creation program. In this class, learners will meet weekly with an expert instructor and a small group of fellow gamers to learn elements of game design and computer programming on the Codeverse platform. Additional components of the program include live and recorded events with professional game designers, video lessons, and guided coding missions, the option for private coding lessons, and a challenge to build a video game.
