Inspire the next generation of designers, creators, and engineers with Girls in Game Design, a free hands-on technology program designed to introduce students to the exciting world of game development.
Through interactive sessions, participants will learn how to design, build, and play their own video games using MakeCode Arcade and Python with Pygame Zero. Students will progress from creating beginner-friendly games like Flappy Bird and Snake to developing their own playable 2D platformer while learning important game development concepts such as scoring, timers, power-ups, and game logic.
No prior coding experience is required. This program focuses on creativity, problem-solving, and building confidence through hands-on learning. Participants will leave with completed games, real Python experience, and the skills to continue exploring technology and design.
