Girls Make Games provides a supportive environment for girls and non-binary kids to develop and publish their own video games, offering mentorship from industry professionals and a chance to win prizes.
Girls Make Games offers a three-week in-person summer camp where participants learn to design and program their own video games. Campers work in teams of 3-5, guided by a dedicated mentor, to create a fully functional game. The curriculum covers game design, game programming (using visual programming with Construct for beginners, and Unity or Unreal for intermediate/advanced participants), game art (creating, animating, and importing assets), and music and audio engineering. Beyond technical skills, students also develop teamwork, collaboration, pitching, and presentation abilities. The camp aims to inspire girls and non-binary kids to pursue careers in the video game industry, culminating in a Demo Day where teams present their games for a chance to win prizes.
A typical day involves research and playing games, followed by lunch and activities like industry speaker sessions or outdoor play, and then lab/instruction time to learn new concepts and work on their team game.
This camp is ideal for girls and non-binary kids aged 8-18 with an interest in video games, regardless of prior coding or game development experience.
