DESCRIPTION: For kids who dream of the coolest avatars and dare to design the most epic arcade games! Participants will learn fundamentals in game design, design prototype, and build their own arcade games, puzzles, mazes, spinners, dices, target games, and more! In addition, we'll exolore technique to integrate avatars and narratives in our interactive games. Participants will design their own characters, learn digital prototyping to make their own avatars, and integrate stories into their interactive games. They’ll build structures made of wood panels to hide the tiniest bugs to be found, make mazes out of paper and cardboard with stories no one can resists, use DC motors and arts and crafts materials to make spinners and dices to play games of chance, or even design their own “finger sport” boards and challenge friends to play with them! This series is a wonderful combination of design thinking and creative STEM making.
