Description

This class introduces students to the basics of video game design — brainstorming, level design, art, sound, and programming logic. Using beginner-friendly, block-based programming platforms, students learn core game design principles and build their own playable games. The class balances creativity and technical skills, the two key components of any design process.


By the end of this class, students will be able to:

  • Explain game design concepts such as mechanics, dynamics, and aesthetics
  • Use beginner-friendly game programming tools to create real games
  • Understand basic programming logic through visual coding
  • Design levels and challenges, as well as art and sound, for a positive player experience
