Optimaaro Games is proud to offer its second year of summer camp programming for youth to learn about video game creation here in Barrie!
This one week program is
- for kids aged 12-16
- who enjoy reading and want to create an interactive story game
- who enjoy video games and want to learn the basics of storytelling and coding
- Instruction is in English and ASL (American Sign Language)
- Maximum 10 students per class, with 2 instructors.
Hours of camp are 10am to 3:30pm, Monday through Friday. Financial assistance is available thanks to our generous sponsors.
Dates: July 25-29 // August 8-12 // August 22-26
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- Storytelling basics – what are the nouns of your story – people, place, things, conversations
- What kind of games do you want to make? Are they simple or do they have lots of possible endings? Linear versus branching stories (like Choose Your Own Adventures!)
- Researching media files – get photos and sound effects online
- Learn basic programming skills
- Putting all the pieces of the story together to test and share the story game on the web, Facebook and tablet
