Students develop an original 2D video game from start to finish while experiencing immersive campus life at a technology-focused university with a view of the Manhattan skyline.
This two-week residential program at Stevens Institute of Technology allows high school students to develop an original 2D video game from start to finish. The interdisciplinary curriculum merges art, design, play, storytelling, and computer science. Students begin by designing simple card and board games to understand core mechanics, then advance to using the Unity game engine and C# programming language to develop 2D games. The program also introduces students to Aseprite and other software for game development. Participants gain skills in critical thinking, time management, and problem-solving, essential for success in college and beyond. The program aims to provide hands-on academic learning and an immersive campus experience, including social activities and workshops on college admissions.
A typical day involves academic sessions taught by Stevens faculty, hands-on project work, and opportunities to participate in social activities and college-prep workshops.
This program is ideal for high school students interested in exploring game design as a blend of art, design, storytelling, and computer science, and who want to experience college life.
