Be a Game Designer!

Have you ever wondered how board game designers come up with their themes and unique ideas? Why do they set rules and board layouts the way they do? Join us this week as we dissect the game design process from beginning to end (and sneak some mathematics into the strategies and creation of their game!). Some of the best and most memorable games are Role Playing Games with strong character development. Using Dungeons and Dragons as their example, students will focus on the theatrical roleplay and technical background of a character. From there, we will develop the character’s abilities, gear, fighting strategy, how they explore their environment and more! Throughout the week, students will also explore what coding games are like through Minecraft EDU! Whether your student enjoys art, coding, Minecraft, board games or using their imagination, they will find new ways to develop their skills this week!

Subject areas covered: Technology, Art, Math
