At Game Builder Creation Camps we combine learning and fun and bring it to a whole new level. At this camp your child will actually design, develop and create "one of a kind" computer games. These courses were developed to teach introductory programming skills and also encourage creative thinking. The Game Builder program blends these traits into an exceptionally fun experience.
Introductory Video Game Creation Program
Ages 8-15 Introductory & Intermediate, PC Based
Create and Program Your Own Car Racing Video Game
Ages 8-15 Introductory & Intermediate, PC Based
Design & program your own car race game using Game Maker software. This course is appropriate for both beginners and students that have completed the introductory program. In this program; campers have a blast and develop basic programming skills while creating their very own car racing game. The course begins with the selection of race cars from our custom resource folders. Next they then program the cars to accelerate, brake, turn and set limits. Students then design & create their very own race track complete with obstacles and barriers. Additionally attendees create opponents, program the race, set-up check points & finish lines and build a Graphic User Interface (GUI) to track laps. Time permitting they may even add mini-maps and a car stereo. Our goal is to challenge campers' creativity while sprinkling in some physics and geometry concepts. Click Here for Locations and dates!
3D Animation Creation
Ages 8-15,
Introductory, PC & Mac Compatible
Using Scratch software
developed by MIT, participants are guided step by step through the basics while
creating their own 3D animated story, with a focus on fun. Campers will select
from a gallery of animated characters called sprites. They will teach them walk,
run, dance, turn around and respond to keyboard input. Students will learn to
change backgrounds, add music, play catch, and other cool features. Throughout
this course, they will learn basic programming skills while broadening their
imagination and creativity. After the end of camp they can install the software
and story from our custom download site for further development or to simply
show off.
Imagine how much fun they will have designing and programming professional looking video games. All that’s required is some computer know-how
and a bit of imagination because there are no limits! Our camp uses state of the
art computers & software combined with expert instruction.
