Program Overview
This is your complete transformation from gamer to game creator. Learn how Minecraft started as a solo project, how Among Us became viral, and how indie developers compete with billion-dollar studios. This 2-year journey takes you from zero coding experience to publishing your own games on Steam, App Store, and consoles.
Designed specifically for teenagers who dream of making games, you'll learn by recreating mechanics from Fortnite, Minecraft, Valorant, Genshin Impact, and more. Master programming, game engines, 3D modeling, level design, multiplayer networking, and the business of games. By graduation, you'll have 30+ games in your portfolio, published titles with real players, and skills that get you hired by studios or accepted into top game design programs.
