MakeCode Arcade Camp - 8 week course starting  Monday 9:00AM -- Sept 07 to Oct 26

Does your child have an aptitude for coding and video games? Challenge them to MAKE a game of their own! Over the course of several weeks, learn how to build a video game (using block coding familiar to those who have used a Circuit Playground with us before) that you can actually play. Beginning with exploring popular game types and how they work, (participants) learn of the different play styles available to them, and the behind-the-scenes code required to make that happen. With custom tailored lessons to teach this code, each designed to build upon the previous lessons’ knowledge, participants will collaborate with each other and work as a group to build a team game as a final project. Follow the process of game design through each fundamental stage of game development: From pre-planning (what style and functions to use, as well as character creation) to production (writing and testing our code), each camper learns the hidden math and engineering that goes into making their favourite games (How physics help Mario jump, or how arrays help create inventory systems). Through the basics of coding, MakeCode Arcade teaches valuable teamwork and problem solving skills, using arithmetic operators and variables to encourage a new way of thinking about mathClass size = 6 studentsEight 1 Hour SessionsWebsite: <a href="https://steamlabs.ca/fall-2020-virtual-programming/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://steamlabs.ca/fall-2020-virtual-programming/</a>
