🎮 Games Design Lab

Turn your big ideas into epic video games in just two hours!

In this hands-on session, young creators will step into the world of game development using the brilliant MakeCode Arcade platform. From the first spark of an idea to building characters, coding game rules, and designing exciting levels — everyone gets to be the designer of their own arcade-style video game. It’s drag-and-drop fun with real coding logic, no experience needed. By the end of the workshop, every participant will have a playable game they can share, play, and keep building after the session ends!
