Have you ever wondered how the designers of your favorite video games work their magic? Put down your controllers and join us as we dive into a scratch, a beginner-friendly coding platform developed by MIT that allows kids to make stories, games, and animations! Discover how to set the scene with fantastic backdrops, sound effects, and dialogue. Learn how to make your 2D character move by creating a polished walk cycle. You will learn the basics of character development and create a video game sample to share with you friends and family. Come "crack the code" of video games, and unleash your creativity!
RICM will provide chromebooks for students to use during the workshop. Students may bring a personal computing device if they wish, but they are not required. Blocks CAD works best with keyboarded computing devices, such as laptops, macbooks, or chrome books. IPads are strongly discouraged.
