Where imagination meets technology! Unleash your creativity to develop immersive worlds, conquer challenges, & bring gaming dreams to life.

Join us for a half-day camp at SAMSAT, The San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology.

Game Development Camp is a hands-on introduction to coding through creating a fun, playable 2D video game from start to finish. Students follow a clear, beginner-friendly process and leave with a completed game they built themselves.

Students will:

learn the foundations of game development by building a complete game step-by-step with guided programming lessons.
write real code to control movement, scoring, win/lose conditions, and basic game rules using beginner-friendly techniques.
use ready-made 2D art assets so they can focus on learning programming and game logic without needing drawing experience.
learn how to plan a simple game concept and turn it into a playable project through clear milestones
practice debugging and problem-solving skills as they test their games and improve how they run and feel.

The camp sessions will be held at SAMSAT's AREA 21® located within the Boeing Center at Tech Port building (3331 General Hudnell, 78226).

Must be a rising 7th-12th grader.

A snack will be provided, but please remember to bring your own water bottle. If you plan to stay for the full day, bring your own lunch.

Camp hours: 9:00 AM – 11:45 AM, Monday through Friday.

Early drop-off, up to 30 minutes before the start time, is permitted.
