Project-based game design education for kids
Our approach for teaching game design to kids is to ensure students have a hands-on experience. Have a look at the projects our students create!
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.
