Class - Video Game Design with Gamemaker, Gr 3 - 8, Lexington Studio

Playing video games is fun, but playing games you make yourself is a thrill!

Kids learn to create character sprites, design levels, and program game mechanics while they learn the fundamentals of object oriented programming. All students work at their own pace, making this a great workshop for both new and more experienced game makers. Don’t tell the kids, but while creating the games and learning programming, they will also be learning math, geometry, design and logic.

Games can be played at home (MS Windows-only), and software used in class is available for free download (MAC and PC) for those who want to continue their game-making skills at home. Non-violence policy is enforced.
