AI Game Makers
This time, your child gets to say, “Try my game!” In this two-day camp, they’ll design and code a playable mini-game, try an AI suggestion for a new obstacle and fine-tune the challenge after watching a friend play.

What your child will do
Sketch the first level
Children draw their game on paper and choose a goal. Does the player collect stars, dodge a creature or race to an exit? They decide how the controls work and what earns a point.
Code the challenge
Children bring their character to life by coding its movement and scoring. They try an AI suggestion for an obstacle, then decide whether to keep it, change it or leave it out.
Swap games and playtest
A classmate tries the level using only the instructions. The designer watches where they hesitate, asks what they expected and revises one rule. Then it’s time for another round.
What they’ll make
Your child will create a playable first level with a character, a scoring rule and instructions for a new player. When it’s your turn to play, ask, “What did you change after someone tried it?” They’ll be able to show you exactly what they adjusted and explain why.
