Open to Grades 9-12
Either a Single-Semester (5 credits) or a Full-year (10 credits) course
This introductory course offers flexible entry points into game development based on student interest and scheduling. The year-long option provides comprehensive coverage of 2D, 3D, and VR game development, building a broad foundation in programming, interactive design, and real-time environments. Students learn core concepts in gameplay systems, level design, visual development, and user interaction using industry-standard tools.
Students who complete both semester courses will have equivalent preparation to the full-year course and will be well prepared for advanced study in Game 2 and entry into the Game Design Academy.
No prior experience is required
