Start
The Spark
For your child
Bring the game you already love playing. That is the starting point.
For you
Day one turns what your child already plays into a design brief — for most of them it is the first time a game looks like something that was built rather than something that simply exists.
The map is the journey, not a timetable. We pace the three days to the group in the room — if an idea needs another hour, it gets another hour.
Choose ONE session
Your child attends the morning session or the afternoon session — not both. Same content, same three days; pick whichever suits your family.
Morning
10:00 – 13:00
Afternoon
14:00 – 17:00
Small groups, so seats go quickly.
They build it in GDevelop
GDevelop is a real, free game engine — the same one indie developers publish with. Students work in the actual editor from the first afternoon: objects on the left, the game in the middle, the logic on the right.
- Game design fundamentals
- Create worlds & characters
- Build game mechanics
- Develop using GDevelop
- Test & play their games
Nothing to install and nothing to buy at home — we supply the machines.

Camp FAQ
No. We start from the game they already play and build up from there. Children who have coded before go deeper rather than faster, so a mixed group works well.
