Event Details

Introduction to Game Development and Design (non-programming) is the first step in learning how to build a professional 3D game. Students will explore game engines, tools to make video games, and databases to get the resources that you need to build a video game. This class will also cover video game mechanics, the programming logic behind the mechanics, and how they work with your favorite games. This is a non-programming class.

This is a virtual workshop
