About the program

Why kids love it

If your child loves games, they are already halfway to designing them. Game Starters (7–8) build story adventures in Scratch, Arcade Creators (9–11) draw pixel art and code retro arcade games, and World Builders (12–14) design 3D worlds in Roblox Studio with Lua scripting — turning screen time into creative, real-world skills.

  1. 1

    Story games

    Heroes, scenes and scores in Scratch — a first game kids can share.

  2. 2

    Arcade classics

    Pixel art, levels, enemies and boss battles in MakeCode Arcade.

  3. 3

    Build 3D worlds

    Obbies, tycoons and quests in Roblox Studio with Lua scripting.

Talk to us

No — this is a building class. Kids design, code, test and present games; playing is limited to playtesting their own and classmates’ work.

World Builders (12–14) work inside Roblox Studio, the creation tool, with parent-approved accounts, and we teach online-safety habits from day one. Younger levels use Scratch and MakeCode Arcade, which need no game accounts.

Yes. Kids keep every game they make, and families can share them privately with friends and relatives.

Small-group live classes have a maximum of 6 students, so every child gets individual attention.

Every class is recorded for your family, and we offer free make-up sessions so no one falls behind.
