Learn how to design a Indie game
Our Indie Game Builder camp is great introduction to game design for kids. We use hands-on exercises and projects to teach your child the skills and techniques required to design and build an interactive game. They'll get an introduction to core coding concepts and learn how to export and publish their game on the web. At the end of the course, your child will take home their game and will be able to use their new skills to create more games.
Our camps have been restructured into two parts that can be taken as one week courses.
| Part 1 | Beginner to Intermediate | Mon - Fri | AM or PM |
| Part 2 | Advanced | Mon - Fri | AM or PM |
| Part 1 & 2 | Beginner to Advanced | Mon - Fri | Full Day* |
* Recommended for older children

IMPORTANT – FREE TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Course software must be installed before the start of the camp. Instructions on how to do this will be in your FunTech Parent Portal and includes free technical support.
If the software is not installed prior to the start of the camp, then your child will miss some of the course and their may be an additional charge to catch up on missed content.
This camp builds the game design process from the ground up. Your child will begin by understanding the principles of a successful indie game, such as user experience, display area, and more.
Through a series of fun, game-based exercises, they’ll learn to use event-based programming to animate, control, and position their objects. Their code will consider a broad range of events and outcomes. What should an object do if it collides with a wall? The code has the answer!
Additional concepts covered include game logic, digital media creation, creative asset management, programming concepts, and user interaction. Once they’ve mastered all that, they’ll design and build their own game. Finally, they’ll export it and come home with a finished product that everyone can play!
