Video Game Coding Bootcamp (2 Afternoons, Grades 7-12)
About this Event
Have you ever wanted to create your own video game?
At the Video Game Coding Bootcamp, students will learn real programming skills by building complete video games using JavaScript. Through a guided mission-based learning system designed for beginners, campers will write and modify actual code while seeing immediate results on the screen.
Every line of code they create changes how their game looks, moves, and plays, helping students understand how professional game developers bring their ideas to life.
No prior coding experience is required.
