If your child loves video games, they are already thinking like a programmer. Their passion is not a distraction; it's an untapped superpower. Our creative computing approach leverages that love of play and transforms it into the foundational skills of a game designer.

The Designer’s Mindset

Every complex video game is just a series of small rules, logic statements, and art assets. When a child begins to code, they start to see the digital world not as a black box, but as a series of problems they can solve and worlds they can build.

The Shift in Perspective:

• From Consumer to Creator: Instead of passively playing, they actively design the rules, placing the power of the game logic directly in their hands.
• Creative Problem-Solving: Building a game always involves obstacles. Our projects force students to combine math, art, and logic to overcome creative hurdles, a hallmark of computational thinking.
• The Power of Agency: When they can customize their own characters, create unique animations, and publish their own projects, they gain a strong sense of personal agency over technology.

The Core Skill: Project Ownership

In our Game Design & Computing studio, students learn the value of project ownership. They progress through the entire creative cycle: ideation (thinking of the game), prototyping (building the first version), refining logic (fixing the code), and finally, publishing (sharing their creation). This hands-on, end-to-end experience is what prepares them for future roles in technology and design.
