Making A Dog Petting Video Game From Scratch - SOLD OUT

Come learn how to make a video game about petting dogs!

This introductory workshop will teach budding game developers the fundamentals of programming with the freely available block-based visual programming software, Scratch.

Attendees will learn how to make playable characters, the basics of animations, and very simple non-playable characters.

All attendees will have made a small game about petting dogs as well as an introduction on how to learn to make their own games.

*Please note anyone who is attending two workshops in one day will need to be collected by a caregiver during the lunch break.

*As lunch is not provided, we recommend using this time to get something to eat.
