ABOUT THE INSTITUTES
Game Design
Games are more than just entertainment — they are a shared language of interaction. Learn the basics of creating a video game from scratch with this 2-week intensive summer program. Come up with your very own game idea and bring it to life with art and code. This course will primarily use Unity, Maya, and Photoshop as development tools.
Virtual Reality Design
Learn about virtual reality (VR) and create your own VR experience! Build off of what you learned about Game Design and explore how games are made for VR.
PORTFOLIO PREPARATION
Upon finishing this course, students will have built and designed a completed game to use as a portfolio piece when applying to colleges.
