Video Game Design Workshop Starts Nov. 6

October 1, 2013

Kids love playing video games. Now they can build their own! What better way to teach a child core STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) concepts than using a medium that has their full attention?

Game Crazy will introduce to Club members a four-week program in which participants will immerse themselves in all aspects of video game design - from game ideation to storyboarding to the iterative development process of prototyping and testing. Kids are able to take home their video games on the final day of class.

The program begins November 6 for $65 per child (ages 8+). Classes are 90 minutes long starting at 4:30 p.m. Register at the front desk of the Club or using the form here.
