About the class
What do coders use to control video games? The secrets to making games feel realistic, challenging, and fun are often applications of the science and math you’re learning in school–meaning that the answer to “when am I ever going to use this?” might just be when you put down the textbook and pick up the controller. Join teenage tech founder Samaira Mehta to look at the code behind your favorite video games and see how math and science principles like inequalities, equations, coordinate planes, and Newton’s laws combine to make games go.
