Game Making Workshops

Adler Planetarium

Sure, you love video games, but have you ever wondered what happens behind the scenes? Now's your chance to try your hand at building your own! During the Adler's Game-Making Workshops (Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning 10/10), teens will explore the mathematics and mechanics of how both board games and video games are created, which will involve investigating balance, instructions, narratives, and the social aspects of games. You'll will learn how to code games using GameMaker Studio, and will also learn game planning and interactive writing technologies. Current high school students at all levels of coding knowledge are welcome to apply. Participants will receive stipends PLUS single-trip CTA passes! Applications close September 21.
