Join Tinker & Create in their Digital Game Design course for a 5-week course!
This course introduces students to The Unreal Engine, a game development platform that’s great for creating 2D and 3D games. Some of the most important skills acquired in the class are scene and character design, computer programming, story crafting and writing, a bit of physics and math, and, most importantly, imagination. With a basic knowledge of this platform, students can begin to think about how to create worlds for different platforms, like tablets, PCs, laptops, virtual reality, and beyond. These skills can easily be applied to other disciplines, like graphic design, architecture, physics, math, fine arts, writing computer programming, and engineering. We will be happy to equip you with the skills needed to empower your creativity!
