LSU's Digital Media Arts & Engineering program is proud to present our second annual Global Game Jam Next. Join thousands of students from around the world to participate in a game jam creating original creative works. This allows an opportunity for students from ages 12 - 17 to feel what it is like to be a game developer - even if it is just for a week. In this brief time span, creative thinking will be encouraged along with the creation of innovative and experimental games.
Imagine, collaborate, create, develop and surpass your wildest imagination:
• Learn the tricks and techniques used to make modern video games from scratch.
• Use professional tools to produce quick and easy gameplay prototypes.
• Practice scripting, animation, digital art, audio design, level design and game design.
• Help unleash your creative potential to get ideas from your head onto the screen.
Who:
Rising 7th -12th grade students. No experience required. General computer use a plus. Note: Gamemaker Studio 2 software will be used--this is taught at the beginner level. (Do not register for both this and Gamecrash Camp; they are identical in curriculum.
Students will be using GML (Game Maker Language) a C like high level scripting language to create interactive prototypes. The language is simple enough for a child to learn and students are expected to be able to express themselves through scripting and art by the end of the class. The course culminates in a show for friends and family that demonstrates what they have been able to accomplish in a short period of time.
Registration & Cost:
$155.00 pp. Supplies, lunches and snacks are provided during the camp. Participants are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from LSU’s campus. CCT will accept participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. Limited seats available so register early.
Instructor:

He also co-founded Stage 3 Media in response to an emerging online video marketplace.
