Course structure and content Each week students on this course build foundational knowledge and skills by using a variety of tools and software. They create story boards, characters, backgrounds, music and define rules. At each stage they test slight changes to the mechanics and see the impact it has on the game. Later on, students work on the creation of a final product — their own video game — developing a sense of ownership and understanding of the development life cycle. Through team work they make decisions that influence the final product in a fun and interactive way. The game becomes the teacher!

Finally, they consider marketing the game and designing adverts to promote their final product so they can share their new skills with friends and family.
