Make your first video game in this one-of-a-kind camp that shows you the keys to designing a 2D platformer game.

We'll explore conceptualization, play experience, level design, graphics, sounds, and simple coding. No experience is necessary, just a desire to have fun.

Your game will be available on a password-protected website to share with friends and family.

Games are only compatible on PC computers; Mac versions can be created after the camp for a $15 conversion fee.

Please note that Make Your First Video Game! is designed for students in rising grades 6-10.
