Program Description
Event Details
Experience the thrill of making your very first video game! In this hands-on beginner friendly event, students will work alongside a live instructor to design a main character, add movement, and create simple challenges--then watch their game come to life. Participants have a chance to show off their creativity, build problem-solving skills, and gain new technology skills.
No prior experience required. All software and equipment will be provided. (Optionally, to save work created during the program, participants will need to use Google, Microsoft, or Clever at the beginning of class to log in into Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.)
This is a two-day workshop series. Registration required.
This is an in-person workshop.
Presented by League of Amazing Programmers.
