Teen Video Game Design Camp

Teen Video Game Design Camp

There's still a few spots left for next week's Video Game Design Camp! Teens will leave this 3-day series having created their own video game level. 

Video Game Design Camp takes place June 26, 27, & 28 from 1:00-5:00pm at Central Library in the Media Lab.

During the camp, attendees will use the Unreal Development Kit to create a fully interactive 3D game level. They'll work with a professional Game Designer to create every part of their level; from the sky and the ground to the various objects found in it. Registration and attendance is required for all three days of this camp. Snacks will be served during break time, but please bring diet-friendly snacks if needed!
