GAME ON! At The MADE

If you have an OUSD student, scholarships are available.
Have you ever wondered how your favorite video games are made? This summer, the Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (MADE) invites young creators ages 8-13 to step behind the screen and start building worlds of their own.
Game On is a hands-on summer camp experience where campers are introduced to the fundamentals of game design and interactive technology — no experience required. Through guided activities, creative challenges, and collaborative projects, participants will explore how games are designed, built, and brought to life!

Time: 9 AM - 3PM
Location: Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment, 924 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA 94607
Ages: 8–13
Campers can expect to:

• Learn the basics of game design
• Explore interactive technology and how digital experiences are created
• Work alongside peers to develop their own creative projects
• Discover the history of games and interactive art at one of Oakland's most unique cultural institutions

🎒 To keep our campers safe and our days running smoothly, Game On is a closed-campus program — meaning students stay on-site throughout the day and are only released to a parent or guardian. Please plan to send your camper with a packed lunch and snacks each day, as meals are not provided.
