WHO: High School - Grade 9 through 12 appropriate (rising high school freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors, as well as graduating seniors). No experience required. General computer use a plus. Note: Gamemaker software will be used--this is taught at the beginner level.
Which camp should you take? "Gamecrash" is level one for a very beginner level intro. It is taught in 2D software. "Intro to 3D Animation" is level two. It is more complex and teaches FX/special effects and elements using Maya software. "Intro to Video Game Creation" is level three. This course puts all the elements from step 1 and 2 together to finalize a live, playable game using Unity software.
REGISTRATION & COST: $125.00. 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.
