Overview

This course invites problem solvers and young gamers to turn their passion for playing into a new-found love for creating! This course is not just about learning to code—it's an exciting journey into the world of game creation. Our students will design and develop their games, fostering a new perspective on how they engage with games.

Students will learn programming fundamentals such as sequencing, conditionals, loops, functions, events and learn debugging as they create their projects on Scratch, the world’s most popular block-based programming platform.

(Scratch #GameMaker: In-Person Camp)
August 9, 2025 - Cathy Chase
My kid really loved the Scratch Gamemaker camp! During the week she coded 12 different games and animations. At the end of camp, the kids gave a presentation to parents where they demoed their games and even explained the code behind them. The instructor did a great job posing critical questions to bring out the kids' ideas and scaffold them through their presentations. My older daughter has done tons of coding camps and classes, and for many of them she just played games and didn't do much actual coding and she's certainly never had to give a presentation or explain her code to her parents. But this camp actually has a solid curriculum. I was amazed at how much my daughter learned in a week at this camp! She hopes to return next summer!
