Video Game Design Classes
Does your child love video games? Channel that passion by having them learn to build their own in a video game design class! Together with like-minded video-game enthusiasts, students will build video games step-by-step, experimenting with specific tasks and movements, and sharing gameplay with their peers, all while learning important STEM concepts of design, problem-solving, and trial/error.

Monthly membership includes two 1-hour classes each week with options across our five STEM domains – Coding, Robotics, Digital Art & Design, Video Game Design and Minecraft.
