BAPA Game Design Camp

Join BAPA Instructor Quentin Barth in BAPA's Game Design Spring Camp! The magic in every student comes to life as never before when they are empowered to be as creative as they were all born to be! Bay Area Pathways Academy is excited to offer Spring Break Game Design Camp for ages 10-14 years old! Spring Break Game Design Camp offers students the opportunity to explore how games are made and to make some themselves. Students will think critically about how game mechanics influence their experience of play, and they will use this perspective to design their own games. They will have time to playtest each other’s games, practicing giving and incorporating constructive feedback. The curriculum covers a range of game types, including board games, arcade games, and 3D games, as well as techniques like coding with blocks and using a 3D game engine.

Session 1: 3/31 - 4/4  from 9am to 1pm
