– BOOTCAMPS –
Your Teen Will Transform Their Gaming Passion Into Valuable Skills In Just One Weekend
Our Game Development Foundations coding bootcamp is an intensive 3-day program where high school students (ages 14-18) build their own playable video game.
Students will be introduced to the basics of game design, coding, and use of a game engine.
With small class sizes, students receive focused instruction in a collaborative, hands-on environment.
By Sunday afternoon, your teen will have transformed from game player to game creator, equipped with valuable STEAM skills and a project they can showcase and continue to build on.
NOTE: Lunch is provided on Saturday (pizza). For Sunday we ask that you bring your own lunch.
Bootcamps will be held at: MVCC’s thINCubator, in Utica, NY.
