During this exciting 2-week course, participants will form teams and build a 2D or 3D platformer game from start to finish before presenting their products to friends and family at the final showcase.

    Program Overview

    There is no denying it anymore: online gaming is here to stay. In just a few decades, online gaming has exploded to become a multi-billion-dollar industry and one of the most profitable industries on the planet. If you have an interest in online gaming, there are a variety of different careers that will allow you to make your hobby a part of your job

    In this summer program presented by Quinnipiac's Game Design & Development Program, high school students will practice visual coding skills using the Unreal Engine Blueprints system, learn the basics of game design and explore how to integrate art and audio assets into their work. They will learn how to work on teams and the process of iterative testing modelled in the game industry.

    At the end of this program, you’ll walk away with:

    • An understanding of the online gaming industry and potential career paths to inspire your personal, academic and professional aspirations within game design
    • Hands-on experience with the game design process from brainstorming to design to development to testing
