About This Activity
Campers explore game development using Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. This interactive platform helps students build coding, creativity, and problem-solving skills while learning what makes games fun and engaging. Campers use block-based programming to learn core coding concepts such as sprites, loops, conditionals, and variables. Students design characters, backgrounds, and game mechanics, then build, test, and debug their own arcade games. Students create a game for a Micro:bit-powered console. The program also introduces 3D modeling and 3D printing, allowing campers to expand their creativity beyond the screen.
