Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Welcome to Digital Game Design with Bloxels, the perfect program for budding game designers in grades 4th - 10th! In this self-paced course, participants will have the opportunity to learn the basics of video game development and design their own games using kid-friendly developer tools.

The course will run for 5 self paced weeks. Your student will have time to work on small projects.

Our curriculum has been carefully designed to cover the main topics in game design and development, including exploring and designing platform-style 2D game experiences, understanding 2D game design principles, defining iterative design in game development, identifying elements that make fun gameplay, and understanding platforming elements in games.

No previous experience or knowledge is required for this course. Our videos will walk participants through the basics of game design and development, ensuring that everyone has a solid understanding of the key concepts before moving on to more complex topics.

At the end of the course, participants will have created their very own 2D platform-style video game. They will also have gained valuable skills in game design, development, and collaboration, which will serve them well in the future.

We believe that learning should be fun and engaging, which is why we've designed this course to be interactive and collaborative. Our goal is to create a fun and engaging learning experience that will ignite your child's passion for game design and development.
