Games Camp participant demonstrates their game design.

Games Camp

Hosted by the college’s Office of Student Success.

GAMES Camp aims to help rising 5th-8th graders gain a better understanding of STEM through play. 

About the Program

They will get a glimpse of mathematics, engineering, and science in our games-based camp. We hope to introduce them to the basics of SCRATCH and HATCH so that they will produce a 2D and 3D game to share with their peers. Throw in VR and Board Games and it will be an entertaining and educational week to break up the summer!
