iD Tech: Mobile Game Design & App Creation Lab

Tap into the world of game design by creating a mobile game or app! You’ll build a prototype, design a user interface, and test it on a portable tablet. Then, launch your project in GameMaker, the engine behind popular indie games like Undertale! You’ll craft a world and create characters, sprites, and levels. With built-in visual code, develop custom game mechanics like collectible items. Transform your idea into a playable touchscreen experience, whether that’s a cozy virtual pet app, an exciting action-adventure, or a monster collection game like Pokémon Go. Your game will open the way to mobile play—you can even bring your own Apple or Android device to pilot it on! Requires iOS 13.0 / Android 5.0 or later for personal devices. Ages 10 - 12 June 8 - 12
