Program Overview
Every child who loves games has the same secret wish: to make one. This live online course grants it properly for ages 8 to 12: game logic learned in Scratch, where scores, lives, levels and enemy behavior are built by the child, then complete 2D games polished until friends ask to play again, and finally the leap into 3D worlds with Roblox Studio and coded Minecraft builds, plus first multiplayer fun.
Finishing is the discipline: every month ends with a playable build and a mixed challenge that quietly revises earlier skills, and the course ends with a capstone game, planned, built, playtested and presented at demo day. There is no monetization talk, no in-game purchase strategy and no chatbot dependence in this course; children this age should be building skill and joy, and that is the whole syllabus.
The pace is honest and kid-sized: six months at two live classes a week plus two to three hours of playful practice, with two more months in hand when needed. A final exam, capstone demo plus a friendly viva, decides the certificate, with a free retest after revision. Real games, real pride, depth over dopamine.
What Makes This Program Different
- Finished beats fancy: every month ends with a playable build a child can demo at dinner
- The kid-favorite trio done properly: Scratch mastery first, then Roblox Studio and coded Minecraft
- Game design taste taught young: fairness, difficulty and fun, judged out loud kindly
- No monetization talk, no purchase mechanics, no chatbot accounts: skill and joy only
- An honest 6-month arc with 2 months in hand: nobody is rushed
- Real assessment, gently done: monthly mixed challenges and a final capstone exam with a free retest
