Who doesn't love games? Whether it's Fortnite or Minecraft, Super Smash Bros. or FIFA, games bring people all across the world together. Learning to code through game design develops skills in critical thinking, creativity, adaptability, and problem solving; all of which are important life skills.
Using Microsoft's free, open-source platform MakeCode, learn how to use code to bring your imaginations to life. In this 2-week workshop, participants will follow a series of game-making tutorials before using their new skills to build their own game.
Please bring a USB or portable storage device to save your work. Attendance at all sessions will let you get the most from the workshops.
