A Camps: We offer A Camps for middle/high school students with potentially zero background in IT or programming

using a free, open source programming tool called "GDevelop." GDevelop is a deceptively powerful programming tool that

essentially developed its own language to help people create games relatively simply and quickly. It could be likened to a

"drag and drop" style of code but it's slightly more complex.

B Camps: B Camps are new this year! Camps "B" require some coding and/or game development experience. You will

use advanced concepts in game design such as 3D elements and coding using C++. We will be using more powerful

engines that might require Java, or Python. Various programs will be used such as Unity, GameMaker Studio, and Unreal

Engine.
