Our Game Development Modules
Scratch is the first programming language used in our Foundation module because it makes coding visual, interactive, and easy to understand. If you'd like to learn more, read our guide on why Scratch is one of the best coding platforms for beginners.
Scratch Game Development
Students begin their game development journey by learning the fundamentals of coding with Scratch 3.0. Through hands-on projects, they create interactive games, animations, and digital stories while building creativity, computational thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Microsoft MakeCode Arcade
Students build upon their coding foundations using Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Through project-based learning, they create exciting 2D arcade games while exploring event-driven programming, animation, game mechanics, and computational thinking.

FAQs About Our Game Development Course
What is game development for kids?
Game development for kids teaches students how to design and build their own interactive games while learning coding, animation, game mechanics, and computational thinking. Instead of simply playing games, children learn how games are created from concept to completion.
At what age can children start learning game development?
Children can begin learning game development from around six years old using beginner-friendly platforms such as Scratch. As they gain confidence, they progress to more advanced game development tools and programming concepts.
Is game development suitable for beginners?
Yes. Our curriculum is designed for beginners with no prior coding experience. Students learn step by step through structured lessons and hands-on projects before progressing to more advanced game development techniques.
Will my child learn coding through game development?
Absolutely. Students develop programming skills while creating games, learning concepts such as sequencing, variables, loops, conditions, events, debugging, and computational thinking in a fun and engaging way.
What games will students create?
Students create a variety of interactive projects including platform games, maze games, arcade games, adventure games, quizzes, animations, and story-based games while applying programming and game design principles.
