FAQ

Our camps dive into the exciting world of game development, covering everything from coding fundamentals and game design principles to storytelling, graphic design, and even animation. Your child will learn how to bring their game ideas to life, all while developing valuable problem-solving skills. 

Absolutely! We welcome aspiring game developers of all levels, including those who are completely new to coding and game design. Our beginner-friendly courses start with the basics, building a strong foundation and gradually introducing more advanced concepts. 

Our camps are designed to give students hands-on experience with industry-standard tools and software (like Unity and Unreal Engine—the engines behind many popular games), learn to work effectively in teams (just like real game developers), and get valuable insights into different career paths in the gaming world.

You can choose from one-week Tech Camps or multi-week Teen Academies, each with its own unique curriculum and focus. Whether you're looking for a quick overview or a deep immersion, we've got you covered.

We have programs tailored for different age groups, typically kids (ages 7-12) and teens (13-18). Each age group has its own curriculum designed to be challenging and engaging, ensuring everyone gets the most relevant and rewarding learning experience.

Yes, we do! We understand that flexibility is important, so we offer virtual programs that allow students to learn to code and design games from anywhere. Both small-group camps and 1-on-1 private lessons are available. 

We use a mix of popular industry-standard tools and kid-friendly platforms, including Unity, Unreal Engine, Scratch (a great starting point for beginners!), Blender for 3D modeling, and coding languages like Python, C#, and JavaScript. Your child will be learning the same tools used by professional game developers.

Many of our camps involve exciting group projects where students team up to design, build, and test their own games. It's a fantastic way to learn from each other, build communication skills, and experience the magic of bringing a shared vision to life.

The cost varies depending on the program, duration (one week vs. multiple weeks), and whether it's in-person or online. Our programs typically range from $400 to $5,000+ per session.
