The Smithsonian Science Education Center is welcoming your game designer to a multi-day Virtual STEM Master Class in Game Design! Students in Grades 6-8 have the chance to learn how to design their very own game! They will learn what goes into the systems and design of a digital game while engaging with a scientific phenomenon centering on recreating a food chain.
The virtual class will run Monday (8/17), Wednesday (8/19), and Friday (8/21), from 1:00pm-3:00pm EST each day. Please see schedule outlined below for more details.
On the Friday prior to the class beginning, students will receive pre-course materials to familiarize themselves with the basics of the game design engine, Scratch™.
