Unlock your child’s creative potential with Game Makers Lab—a fun and beginner-friendly 12-week course that teaches game development for kids using two powerful platforms: Scratch and Construct 3.

Designed for ages 8–14, this hands-on program blends the fun of playing games with the excitement of building them. Young learners won’t just consume technology—they’ll become creators.

Each week, students will explore how games work and begin designing their own from the ground up. First, they’ll start with Scratch to learn block-based coding, animation, and interactive storytelling. Then, they’ll move on to Construct 3, a professional-grade game engine used by indie developers and students worldwide.

Throughout the course, students will build essential skills in logic, design thinking, and problem-solving. They’ll create custom characters, design levels, develop scoring systems, and craft interactive challenges. By the end, they will have coded multiple original projects and gained a strong foundation in core computer science concepts—such as sequencing, variables, conditions, loops, and events.

No experience? No problem! Our step-by-step lessons, clear instructions, and supportive environment make it easy for beginners to learn and succeed. Whether your child dreams of being a game designer, enjoys storytelling, or loves solving puzzles, Game Makers Lab offers the perfect mix of learning and creativity.
