  • Grade Level

    Grades 3-4

Design, build, and play your very own video game from scratch! Students will create a platform-style game using Construct 3, a visual coding platform that teaches students the basics and structure of programming. You will learn how games are put together as you design characters, build levels, and program actions using simple drag-and-drop coding. We’ll experiment with power-ups, enemies, and boss battles to make each game exciting and fun. Bring a USB drive to save your games on the last day. ($25 class fee)
