Who is it for
This course is ideal for young gamers who dream of building their own games. The tools, curriculum and programming language used in the course ideally suits children between ages 8 and 12.
This course is also for parents who want their children to pursue their gaming passion in a structured, healthy and productive way
Game Development is the most accessible form of creativity for kids—it opens a world where their ideas can come to life without limits. With just a few clicks, they can design games, create digital art, compose music, and even build multiplayer experiences, all from a single device. Unlike traditional tools, digital creativity lets kids experiment freely, make endless edits, and learn from every try—building confidence and sparking imagination without the fear of running out of supplies or making mistakes.
