About Game Design Course for kids
Your child will learn how to create their own video game using existing game engines like Unreal Engine, the world’s most powerful real-time render engine. They’ll design creative projects that cover everything from developing their own games and designing characters to scripting game mechanics with blueprints. As they create games, they’ll develop problem-solving skills and unleash their creativity, all while building a strong foundation in game development that will help them bring their ideas to life.

Project-based game design education for kids
Our approach to teaching game design to kids is to ensure students have a hands-on experience. Have a look at the projects our students create during our fun video game design camps!
Level 3: Part 1
For this final project students will create a Third person wave shooter game. This capstone project will challenge and solidify their 3D games design skills. Students will then learn to add player mechanics using blueprints, while adding plenty of visual feedback using VFX, and animations. This will include weapons, jetpack and more.
