Cost: $25 per family (1 child max.)

Only a few spots available, so don't miss out.

Have you ever wanted to help your child build their own video games, but weren't sure how, or never got around to it?

Great news: we are having a workshop on this exact topic. Put in just a few hours of focused work, and you'll leave ready to start building games with your child right away.

Parents can attend with or without their child to design and build a game. Suggested for parents of children ages 8 and up.

No programming experience required.

By the end of the workshop, you will know how to:

guide your child toward thinking critically about what makes a game fun and engaging

teach your child to think through how other players will experience the game, the way a game designer does

create a 3D game with your child using Xogot/Godot (a free game engine) and Claude Code (an AI coding tool)

The workshop is limited to a small number of attendees to make sure everyone gets plenty of personalized attention. Spots are first come, first served, so register soon.
