A hands-on program for youth ages 9–14 in the Hudson Valley.
GAMINGLab pulls back the curtain on the games students already love. Instead of just playing, they learn how games are designed — the mechanics, the levels, the characters, the rules, and the experience those elements create together.
Students use beginner-friendly game engines to prototype and build their own games from the ground up. They explore narrative design, user interface basics, character development, and simple game physics — gaining a behind-the-scenes fluency that changes how they see every game they play. Final projects are playable games students can share with friends and family.
Curriculum guides, session plans, and program materials for GAMINGLab instructors and partner educators are available in the teacher portal.
