Programming Computer Games
for Children

LEARNING OUTCOME:

  • The child will master the modern game creation platform Construct 3
  • Master the principles of programming (algorithms, loops, variables)
  • Learn to create games for smartphones and PC, register them with Google Play Market.

Nowadays it is difficult to find a child who has never played a computer game. But many of them have no idea that behind a beautiful picture and an interesting storyline are hours of hard work and creative ideas of many talented programmers, who get good money for their work.

Our game development course online is a chance for your child to be “on the other side” of the game and realize that game development can be just as exciting as the gameplay itself.
Why sign up for a computer game design course?

The goal of our course is to show kids how modern games are created. And gradually, but clearly and convincingly convey the idea that the creativity of developers – an activity no less fascinating than the game itself.

Training gives children the opportunity not only to master the skills in programming, but also to improve themselves in such areas:

  • Ideas. Game development begins with an idea. Before the child chooses the one and only concept, several dozen ideas are born in his head.
  • Creativity. Thinking through a story, a picture, a character’s capabilities is great for the imagination, which in turn is the basis for thinking outside the box.
  • Discipline. Despite the fact that the creation of computer games by children is an interesting activity, it still requires a certain level of discipline.
  • The first step in IT. Learning to program computer games gets your child interested in IT in general and motivates them to try different programming languages

The result of the training is the knowledge and skills to develop games on professional platforms used around the world. The finished game product can be placed on your phone or computer and then added to the official Google Play Market for free download or sale.

Learning is individual, one-on-one with a teacher. 100% of the time only your child.
