FAQ

Is this class like playing video games?
Even better - you're MAKING the games! Though fair warning: After creating your first game youll never look at a simple game the same way agian.
Do I need to be a "computer genius" to take this class?
Nope! This class is for everyone. We start from the basics and level up together. By the end, you'll surprise yourself with what you can create! Pro Tip: The only requirement is willingness to try new things (and maybe enjoy some keyboard shortcuts)
Can I really make my own video game?
YES! You'll code interactive games you can actually play and share. Start simple (like a jumping dinosaur) and work up to your dream game.
What if my code doesn't work?
Welcome to programming! "Debugging" is just a fancy word for "being a code detective." We'll solve mysteries together, and mistakes are how we learn.
Will I get to make my own website?
Absolutely! Build sites to showcase your photography, hobbies, or even a portfolio of your projects. Your imagination is the limit!
