Game created in 2007 camp |
Game Design Summer Camp for Rising 9th and 10th Graders
by Dr. Scott Leutenegger
Professor and Game Development Director
April 27, 2008
From July 6-18. students can experience living on a college campus at a top-rated school. Participants will explore game development as a possible career and partake in the entire process of 2D game creation: design, art creation, and techinical programming. Night time will be spent working on projects as well as playing games. (The images above are from a game created by a 14-year-old girl during the 2007 summer camp.)
P4Games (Pixels, Programming, Play & Pedagogy) explores the creation of interactive videogames as a holistic,
project-based teaching method in high schools. The creation of
videogames requires the integration of visual arts (pixels), computer
programming (programming), and game design (play). P4Games has two
primary activities: to "teach the teachers" through the
Teacher Game Institute (TGI); and to teach videogame
creation skills directly to high school students during residential
summer camps, in order to increase student interest in art,
design, math, and technology.
If you know young women in Colorado who would be interested in this Game Design summer camp opportunity, please help us get the word out. You can learn more about our program by visiting our website, or download this flyer and pass it on to young women or their parents.
Scott Leutenegger is Professor and Director of Game Development Programs in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Denver.
