We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Game Development Academy – bringing hands-on coding education to the Mohawk Valley through the magic of game creation!
Summer Teen Bootcamps: Learn to Code by Making Games
This summer, we’re kicking off with intensive 3-day bootcamps designed specifically for teens who want to dive into the world of game development. Our first session begins July 18th at just $395 per student.
To celebrate our inaugural academy launch, we’re offering an early bird discount of $345 – that’s $50 off regular pricing!
What Makes Our Bootcamp Different?
Game development isn’t just about coding – it’s about bringing ideas to life through art, design, storytelling, and problem-solving. Our bootcamps take a holistic approach, giving students hands-on experience with:
- Programming fundamentals through game logic
- Creative problem-solving and project planning
- Collaborative development in small teams
- Real tools used by indie game studios
Students will walk away with their own playable game prototype and the foundational skills to continue their development journey.
Just the Beginning
While our summer teen bootcamps are launching first, we’re already planning expanded offerings for all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a complete beginner curious about coding, a parent wanting to learn alongside your kids, or someone looking to transition into the games industry, we’ll have programs designed for you.
1-on-1 Coaching: Chat With Me About Your Project
Beyond our group bootcamps, we offer personalized video coaching sessions for developers at any stage of their journey.
Working on a game project that’s hit a wall? Need someone to brainstorm gameplay mechanics with? Struggling with a particularly tricky bit of code? Want feedback on your game design document?
Our coaching sessions provide that crucial outside perspective and guidance that can transform a stuck project into a breakthrough moment.
Building Community, One Developer at a Time
The Game Development Academy represents more than just education – it’s part of our larger vision to establish the Mohawk Valley as a hub for creative technology. Just as we’ve been building our game developer community through our monthly meetups, the academy creates pathways for the next generation to join this growing ecosystem.
