Roblox (Grades 4-12)
Roblox is one of the most popular games played by our students and we love that they can create their own games. This course isn't just about playing video games, it's about teaching students how to code their own games. This platform allows students to publish their content and play with their friends!
Scratch (Grades K-12)
Junior scratch is a drag and drop program designed for the youngest of kids. If they can use a mouse we can teach them how to start programming using pictures. Video games are often the first and most memorable experience children have with computers. This class is about taking the fun of video games and using it to teach programming! Every lesson participants will learn and expand coding skills while using their critical and analytical skills to make video games.
Python (Grades 3-12)
Python is a powerful, expressive programming language that`s easy to learn and fun to use. Python for kids easily brings kids into the world of programming. Used in web and internet development, the scientific community for modelling and analysis, used by big companies like Google, Facebook, NASA, and Dropbox! With python students will learn to program computers, create games in a fun and highly interactive series of projects.
Java with Minecraft
(Grades 5-12)
An incredibly versatile programming language that everyone has used and now you can learn to program it! Campers will learn to work in this powerful work environment from the basics of objects, classes data types and more! Campers will dive into the eclipse IDE platform and from day one start producing programs, games and applets.
C# (Grades 5-12)
C# would be a useful VR programming language for both veteran and new developers who are just getting started. It is good to know because it is widely used for developing games with Unity, the most popular game engine out there. It will work on both Mac and PC, and a ton of VR apps are created with C#.
Game Maker Studio
(Grades 4-12)
You can make games with GameMaker: Studio. Use Actions to tell GameMaker how, what, when, and where you want something to happen during your game. When you create an Action, GameMaker creates the code for you in the background. For example, say you create an Action so that when the player presses the spacebar, she shoots bullets from her plane.

Unity (Grades 5-12)
Unity VR lets you target virtual reality devices directly from Unity, without any external plugins in projects. It provides a base API and feature set with compatibility for multiple devices. It has been designed to provide forward compatibility for future devices and software. The VR API surface is minimal by design, but will expand as VR continues to grow.
