Fall ’23 Ways to keep learning! Game Library Hundreds of games made by kids! We turn gamers into game developers! Interested in game development? Game Worlds is an award-winning STEM education program that turns kids’ passion for playing games into a love of building them! Working in a team, students learn both the artistic and technical aspects of game development, bond with friends, and build confidence as coders, storytellers, artists, and musicians. Because the final projects are actually built by them, students leave Game Worlds with both a game they feel proud of, and the skills needed to build their next one! Visit Us Today! Summer 2024 dates are coming soon, but you don’t have to wait — we also offer birthday parties, after-school classes, and social clubs throughout the year. Check out our current offerings ! Our kid-friendly facility is centrally located at: 7950 Anderson Square, Ste. #109 Austin, TX 78757 Created by Game Developers Our program was built from the ground up by real game developers, which means students always receive the most relevant and practical knowledge! We work with the local game development community to connect students directly with professional developers eager to share their knowledge. Student presentations at the end of each week give kids the chance to receive feedback directly from the minds behind their favorite games. From lessons and workshops to private studio tours, the relationship between veteran game developers and aspiring students is at the heart of the Game Worlds experience! Where creativity and logic go together Each week at Game Worlds presents students with a new theme to explore and build around! From Classic Horror to Real Life Robots, kids design games and stories around a variety of interesting and educational topics. We prioritize tools and techniques that enable young developers to become self-sufficient, and make a point of teaching both the scientific and artistic aspects of building games. With special design challenges each week, students are consistently given the opportunity to solve complex technical problems unique to their creative vision! Hear What People are Saying! Before you buy a game, you read the reviews. We welcome you to do the same when it comes to signing up for our programs. This camp was amazing in more ways than you know. Not only was the week itself awesome, but it gave something for us to look forward to all summer, which was huge! And he’s now looking forward to next summer already.” - Justin, Parent Harrison LOVED the camp — he was very excited to tell us about his activities each day and BEGGED for me to drop him off as early as possible each morning. We will DEFINITELY be back.” – Melanie, Parent As a mom and educator, I look for camps that will be both fun and good learning opportunities for my son. This camp far exceeded my expectations in both areas! My son wanted to get to camp early and stay late…a first. The camp is extremely well-run, and the counselors were incredible with the students. I cannot recommend this camp enough!” – Tisha, Parent I want to thank you for having an amazing program and environment. Michael so much enjoyed the camp that every morning on the way was telling me: Mom, this is like a job that you want to go to!” I think, that says it all. He liked the ways the rules worked for everyone and he learned new things. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. We will definetely be back next year.” – Victoria, Parent The Game Worlds camp was amazing. Not only for educational purposes, but for my son to feel a part of a team. To enjoy the lectures and the topics. The instructors/teachers worked closely with him, and he felt like he could relate to them, and they respected him. It was a week of pure joy and knowledge. My son and I are very happy and look forward to other camps and opportunities provided.” - Erin, Parent My son has always loved video games, and at the end of a one week camp he was able to work as part of a team of 5 students and design and create an awesome playable game! Couldn’t recommend it highly enough – I just wish they had an adult version.” - Andy, Parent Our family was thoroughly impressed with what Game Worlds was able to accomplish in just one week. The program is very well thought out and exposed the students to an enormous amount of content, software and game development process. This program truly gives the students a very good overview and experience of what it takes to develop and bring a game to market. I was nothing short of utterly impressed. My child was engaged and enthusiastic every day.” – Anna, Parent My daughter enjoyed meeting kids like her, talking to adults who love gaming, and gaining new skills. Her vocabulary has increased and I know this will help with critical thinking and overcoming her shyness. She learned many skills that she will need for high school and beyond. I wish my daughter attended more than just the one week. She is very interested in an after-school program. It’s wonderful to see her mind open and the opportunity for her to experience new things. Thank you so much.” - Christina, Parent So I’m sending you this email to #1, thank you for the awesome camp and #2 to just say that the counselors for my team were amazing, Amy is my new best friend and Leif handled our team better than probably anyone else could have. Mad props to him and dealing with my crazy team and keeping us all in line. So basically, best camp I’ve ever gone to by far and the 1st camp I’ve actually liked the counselors. Thanks for the amazing week, I count on being back next year.” - Korbin, Student I just wanted to thank you guys for the great experience I had at camp, it was amazing! Game Worlds summer camp has really sparked my interest and talent for art to a whole other level. In the future i want to go to art school, I feel that this experience has given me another reason to become a artist. I already know there are many fields that have to do with art, but I have learned that mybe being a video game designer might be the field I want to go into. with some more practice with technology, I know that i will be prepared for that job. I really hope to return to camp next year I had an amazing time, I really liked all of the great people I met there. I hope I see you guys next year!” - Natalia, Student The Game World camp was an excellent experience for my son. He came home with the skills that he learned, brought all the code home that his group finished, and continued to elaborate on it. I have not seen anything motivate him to do computer programming, not books, not computer game tours, nothing at all; until he went to the Game Worlds camp. He has continued to work on it, make more improvements, and put a full 8 hours in all on his own, in one day. His excitement over what he created has fueled his learning. This camp has met and surpassed my expectations on how it has changed my son’s perspective on game programming! And he said he is sad the camp ended for him, wishes he can go back again and do some more fun stuff”, that is evidence of this camp’s value.” - Jeni, Parent My daughter loved the high school game design camp and her fellow campers! Her team leader’s enthusiasm was contagious, and he did an outstanding job teaching, guiding and mentoring the campers as well as building team spirit in a friendly, cooperative environment. The campers received age-appropriate feedback, support and constructive criticism from professionals in the industry. Since the course covered all aspects of game design, my daughter will be better able to plan her college courses and career goals.” - Mary Jo, Parent The Game Worlds camp was amazing. Not only for educational purposes, but for my son...
