Video Game Development
Bring your ideas to life this summer with video game design programs at ÿÈÕ´óÈü.
Designed for students in grades 4–8, these hands-on courses introduce the fundamentals of game development in a fun and accessible way.
Using tools like Scratch, students will learn how to design characters, build animations, and develop interactive gameplay while strengthening logic and problem-solving skills. Whether new to coding or continuing a previous project, campers will leave with a playable game and the confidence to keep creating.
Week 1: July 6-10
Week 2: July 13-17
Week 3: July 20-24
Week 4: July 27-31
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Learn the basics of video game development by creating interactive games with MIT’s Scratch. No coding experience is needed. Students will build simple games while learning about character design, animation, and logic. By the end of the week, each student will create and share a playable game using the skills they’ve learned. New and returning students are welcome. Returning students can work on a new game or continue creating and expanding one they already created.
