Teen 3D Game Design with Python (Ages 10-14) will unleash your creativity in a world of 3D Holographic AR Adventures! No Previous Coding Experience or Game Design Necessary.
This camp is fully accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges (ACS WASC).
Fun outdoor and indoor activities and plays are part of the camp experience.
The camp welcomes middle schoolers, guiding them through the fascinating world of 3D game design and Python programming. Designed for all levels of coding experience, this program is ideal for both novices and seasoned young tech enthusiasts.
Module 1: Holographic Augmented Reality (AR) Coding and Design: In this foundational module, students learn to code and design Holographic AR experiences using iCreator with hands on projects. With Holographic AR technology, they can step directly into their own games and see themselves interacting with game characters in real time, using just a webcam. This aspect of the program brings a novel dimension to gaming, where the physical and digital worlds blend seamlessly. Students can create interesting projects, like navigating through distant galaxies, outwitting space villains, encountering alien allies, or exploring an enchanted wonderland. These projects are designed to be both fun and intellectually stimulating, encouraging middle school students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Module 2: Python Programming Tailored to Student Levels: This module offers a customized Python learning experience. Beginners will grasp the essentials of Python programming, covering elements like loops, variables, and basic script logic. Advanced coders will delve into more complex Python applications, optimizing their coding skills for sophisticated game design.
Module 3. 3D Artistry in Gaming - From Modeling to Animation: Students will delve into the basics of 3D modeling and animation for 3D AR game design using iHuman, Adobe Mixmo, Blender, and/or other related 3D tools. Students will be guided through the process of 3D rigging, texturing, and rendering. They will explore 3D character creation and animation with realistic movements.
Module 4: Synergy of Python and 3D Holographic AR Design: Students will explore the integration of Python coding with 3D Holographic AR design, enhancing the responsiveness and performance of their 3D AR projects. This module empowers them to create more dynamic and interactive AR experiences.
Module 5: Crafting Personalized 3D Holographic AR Games with Python: Utilizing the Design Thinking Process from Stanford University's Design School, students will apply their skills to conceive and develop their own 3D Holographic AR games. This hands-on experience allows students to bring their creative visions to life, merging Python coding with innovative AR technology.
Two Weeks of Creativity, Innovation, and Digital Discovery: Over the course of two weeks, students will delve into Holographic AR coding and design, Python programming, 3D modeling, animation, and 3D AR game design. They will also learn about Design Thinking, UI/UX design, interactive storytelling, and visual communication. This comprehensive learning journey ignites a passion for technological innovation and digital creativity in teen minds.
