Game Design and Development for young learners

Program Overview

This program, in Game Science, Design and Development will have students learn how to design and make digital games. Students will go through a steep learning experience starting from simple games, stories and animations using Scratch (during our Introductory Level 1 course) and progress to advanced and deeper game levels using GameMaker, Construct and Unity (during our Level 2 & 3 courses).

As they create the digital game, students learn 21st century skills: how to insert codinglogic and concepts such as conditions and loops, how to create compelling Game Design using User-Friendly interfaces and experiences through virtual design, how to research game concepts, create stories, digital characters and animations.

Given that this course is digitally oriented it is encouraged that each student has his/her personal tablet or laptop available during sessions. This will enable the students to continue their efforts and practice at their convenience and from home during course projects and after the course is finished.

This course is developed and designed by InnovativeKids— an educational hub aimed at promoting Creativity and Innovation through hands-on projects across a wide spectrum of subject areas. With its founding mission biased towards 21st century skill-acquisition and multidisciplinary learning.

All workshops are designed and delivered by professionals in their respective fields.

InnovativeKids by AK Malta was conceived as an idea to promote INNOVATION and CREATIVITY through inter-disciplinary learning experiences aimed at 21st century knowledge and skills.

> MULTIDISCIPLINARY

In today and tomorrow’s world students require multidomain knowledge and skills. We break the mould of teaching by subject. Through our project-based system students are able to learn mathemathics, literacy and history through the arts. They are able to mix knowledge from different domains to come up with a creative solution or outcome.

> ORGANIC LEARNING

Our competence-oriented approach allows students to learn through their own mistakes, reflect and improve. It allows students the space and time for errors and correction. A system which aims to reshape how students portray Failure.

> INTEREST DRIVEN

Motivation like in anything else in life is a key aspect in a child’s learning experience. When learning is joyful and desirable, students are hungry to learn on their own, without outside persuasion
