Video Game Design

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)

Course Description
Learn the fundamentals of computer science, design thinking, and software engineering through the lens of video game design. In this practical course we will learn the basics of software development and put them to work designing and building a video game. In addition to learning programming fundamentals such as control statements, variables, and object-oriented programming, students will be introduced to design thinking methodology, learning to analyze games from the viewpoint of a designer. This course will help students develop the intuition, skill, and inspiration that goes into making a great game. No prior programming experience required.
