In this program, kids explore the fundamentals of game design by building physical game boards, interactive pieces, and imaginative settings using a variety of materials including recyclables and construction supplies.

Students will learn to:

  • Design engaging game concepts and rules

  • Prototype and test their own games

This class encourages problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity, giving kids a unique opportunity to bring their game ideas to life in a tangible, tactile way. Ideal for ages 8-14, it’s a perfect blend of building, craftsmanship, and play.
