Game Design 101 for Kids:
Design a Video Game in 2 Hours with Daniel Stefania (Game Designer and Founder of Cool Code)

Has your kid always wanted to know how games are created? Together with the experienced game designer Daniel Stefania from the Cool Code programming school, they can program their own game during either one of the two workshop slots – just using an iPad. If you are unable to bring an iPad for your kid, a device can be borrowed on site.
