Build Your First Game

About the Class

Step inside the world of game development and create something of your own. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn the basics of Unreal Engine, the same tool used to build many of today’s top games. Each session mixes guided lessons with time to experiment, so you’ll finish with a small playable game and a big sense of accomplishment.

The class is designed for high school students, but it’s open to anyone ages 13 and up, including adults who are curious to try game development for the first time. No prior experience is required, but students will need to bring a laptop capable of running Unreal Engine (Mac or PC). You can check the system requirements and download Unreal Engine here.

Homeschool students who take this class along with either Build Your First App or Learn to Code with Sports can count the two together as one credit of computer science if they attend the full semester. A syllabus is available for that purpose; contact us to request a copy before the class begins.
