Build. Code. Launch.

Does your teen dream of making their own video game? In this exciting hands-on workshop, students work together as a real video game development team to design, build, and launch a playable game. By the end of the program, their creation will be available for friends and family to test and play!

What to Expect

• Team Roles – Students rotate through real-world roles such as coder, designer, tester, and project manager, so everyone experiences multiple aspects of game development.

• Hands-On Coding – Using beginner-friendly tools, participants bring characters, levels, and stories to life with code.

• Creative Design – Teens design artwork, sound effects, and game mechanics while learning to collaborate like a professional studio.

• Testing & Debugging – Students learn to playtest, give feedback, and improve their game.

• Game Launch – Together, the team will prepare their game for release in a “closed testing” phase and celebrate the launch in a special family event.
