Video Game Design Camps - Greater Indianapolis, Indiana

[metaslider id=1478]

This summer, watch your child’s imagination come to life as they dream, create and play their own video games. Create & Play camps offer children 8-16 the opportunity to hone their math, science and technology skills through the creation of video games and applications. While the child “plays” they learn critical thinking, teamwork, problem solving, confidence, and leadership skills. Each game includes a real-life application so campers can take their game into the gym and teach their fellow campers how to play.
