“There is no problem that doesn't have some underlying need for more optimism, stamina, resilience and collaboration. And games are, I believe, the best platform we have for providing that.” -Jane McGonigal, game designer
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at game design, but didn’t know where to start? This is your week! From terrain editing to 3D modeling and more, campers will learn foundational game design concepts to build an epic world in Roblox Studio.
Working together to learn and create
Campers will learn the critical elements of successful games, gain insight into game development as a profession, and bring imagination and creativity to their game through environmental factors and story arcs. Most importantly, they will learn the cornerstone to successful video game design - teamwork! Campers will work with their peers to build a world using the "Team Create'' feature in Roblox Studio. This will allow campers to collaborate in a shared digital space in real time, working together to learn and design a whole new world!
Equipment required: Laptop or desktop computer, Roblox account (free at roblox.com)

To see what will be included in each supply kit, please open the supply list PDF.
You will have the option to add supply kits during the camp registration process. We have also provided the full supply lists for each theme so you can purchase supplies independently.
