Your child manages a game from first idea to share day — learning that their design choices and follow-through belong to them.

Character focus this sprint

We intentionally practice Ownership, Responsibility alongside every coding and robotics skill.

In four weekly sessions, your child will

• Plan rules, levels, and a player goal — then finish over four weeks
• Own bugs and balancing decisions without blame
• Host a short playtest at pickup with coach support
• Reflect on what players enjoyed and what they would change

Why Game Makers

Ownership turns “I started a game” into “someone else played it.” Game Makers wraps the season with a complete, playable project for independent middle-school creators.

Right for 6th–8th

Playable games with rules, levels, and player experience. Debugging and polish are part of the craft. Your child should leave thinking someone else can play this.

More than a tech class

Love to Code Academy is a character development academy. Every session, students practice teamwork, persistence, and ownership — not just skills. Small classes. Real tools. Coaches who know your child by name.

One sprint = four instructional sessions. Weeks that contain New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas are skipped for all classes — the sprint extends to the next available week.
