Summer Game Design Camp w/ SCRATCH - June 3-7 ; 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Game Design with SCRATCH

Scratch has been developed by the Lifelong Learning Group at the MIT Media Lab. It is a platform that promotes mathematical and computational skills as well as creativity, reasoning and collaborative working.

Scratch can be used to make a number of multimedia applications such as games, animations, simulations, stories, and art.

During the camp, students will learn designing and coding their own game with SCRATCH. Participants will learn and practice the design thinking methodology to understand real-life problems and solve them by incorporating the knowledge they have learned

Why STEM Education is Important?

STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science and technology literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators. Innovation leads to new products and processes that sustain the economy. This innovation and science literacy depends on a solid knowledge base in the STEM areas.

National Science Foundation states that in the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.
