This 8 week course is an opportunity to explore video game development through the use of Makecode Arcade. Makecode Arcade offers the opportunity for students to receive instant feedback on what they create so they can understand the concepts of code and how coding works in real-time.

Explore the use of sprites and simple video game concepts while creating your own retro-style 2D video game. Design and create your own characters and backgrounds, give life to your storyline and bring it all together for your very own video game. During the 8 weeks students will be led through the process of creating three simple, retro-style 2D games.

For students who love creating video games and are unable to attend the upcoming Term 2 dates and times Game Maker sessions will run again in Term 3. I also understand that for some children it is more comfortable to work in a 1-on-1 environment. If your child would prefer this, I am also able to provide these classes on a 1-on-1 basis. Please contact Justin, the event host, for more information regarding this and to discuss availability.

All students must be accompanied by an adult or older sibling to assist as required.
