Kodely focuses on tangible outcomes, ensuring every camper leaves with a fully playable, original video game they personally designed and built.
Kodely Summer Camps NYC offers hands-on summer enrichment programs for kids in grades K-8, focusing on game design and coding. Utilizing platforms like MakeCode Arcade, students engage in project-based learning to build their own interactive creations. The curriculum emphasizes a design-build-test-improve-repeat loop, mirroring professional development sprints. Campers will design characters, build levels, write game logic, and then playtest and debug their creations, gaining practical experience in problem-solving and iterative design. By the end of a week-long session, each child will have a fully playable, original video game they designed, playtested, and debugged themselves. The program aims to foster critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and confidence through engaging and personally meaningful projects.
A typical day starts with a short design challenge, followed by dedicated project building time where instructors provide guidance and challenges. Midday includes playtesting where kids try each other's games and provide feedback, with the final stretch focused on iteration and debugging based on that feedback.
This camp is ideal for kids in grades K-8 who are interested in video games and want to learn coding and game design by building their own playable creations from scratch.
