Learn the fundamentals of game design and build your own video games! In this course, students who will be in grades 6-8 this fall will learn how to make their own video games from the ground up using GameMaker: a tool that has been used to create hit games like Undertale, Hyper Light Drifter, and Nuclear Throne. We will cover the fundamentals of game design, basic game programming, and pixel art animation in this two-week course. By the end students will have all of the skills they need to start working on their own hit game!

Level 2 students who will be in grades 9-11 this fall will have time to develop independent ideas. All students who wish to register for Game Design need basic computer skills and Level 2 students should have some knowledge of algebra and geometry.
