Discover how games are really made in two hotspots, Seattle and Los Angeles. Learn the different roles you can play while simulating an indie game company with creative team projects. For passionate gamers to curious creatives, your skills gained are transferrable for success across various fields in the digital age.
Our video game design camps help you discover the nuanced process of creating games. The Game Experience is in two of the major game development hubs of the world, Seattle & Los Angeles, allowing you to learn from veteran developers that will share their knowledge and journeys to success.
You'll work on collaborative teams and assume a role either as a designer, coder, artist or project manager and overcome the trials and tribulations of what it's really like in the real world. By the end of the program, you'll realize what role you want to pursue the most, and if you want to pursue game development at all beyond high school.
