About this event

Join us for two days of games and stories! Learn how to create a video game in our Game2Work Spring Break Edition. Youth in 6th-8th grade will collaborate with Iowa State Designers and Engineers to create video, board, and card games where they imagine possible futures for themselves and their communities!

Activities Include:
– Learning game design by creating a Mario Kart track in the real world
– Playing popular video games and board games and learn what makes them great
– Designing your game characters and write stories for them
– Creating an interactive 2D or 3D narrative game
– Adding your voice or a favorite song to your game
– Make friends and connect with other gamers!

No prior programming or gaming experience needed! These games can be played by anyone!
