13~17 year olds - Game Design Summer Camp

Learner hours: 25

Throughout this hands-on program, students will engage in a variety of activities and practical exercises to learn the processes and techniques involved in designing and creating their own games. Using Blender, an accessible and powerful 3D modelling and animation software, students will have the opportunity to bring their game ideas to life. They will learn to design and develop a top-down shooter game that can be played on both mobile phones and computers.

Over the course of five days, participants will have the opportunity to customise their game with unique art assets, making their top-down shooter game truly their own. The comprehensive curriculum aims to empower students to take charge of various aspects of game development, including story design, character creation, and programming, while fostering their creativity and problem-solving skills in an interactive and collaborative learning environment.

Throughout the course, there will be interactive discussions, group activities, and individual hands-on exercises to reinforce learning. The instructors will provide guidance and support, ensuring that students understand each concept and are able to apply their knowledge to the development of their game.

Booking deadlines

Bookings for all Creative Arts Short Courses will be reviewed two weeks before the start date of each course. This will allow the Short Course team to determine whether a course has met the minimum number of students needed for the class to run. If a class has failed to recruit, the class will be re-scheduled and you will be informed. Where relevant you will be offered an alternative class. If the course has met minimum numbers, bookings will stay open to the course start date or until it has met maximum numbers.

We encourage you to book early before the deadline to avoid disappointment.
