Interactive AR Game Design with Coding for Junior

Grades: K-2

Length: 2 weeks

Accreditation: Fully WASC Accredited (The Gold Standard in K-12 Education)

Prerequisite: None

Leap into a Magical Game Design Adventure! Junior Game Designers will use the power of Augmented Reality (AR) and Scratch coding to bring their imagination to life.

No experience needed—everyone learns at their own pace, with extra challenges for kids who are ready for more.

Students will learn to design interactive Holographic AR games where the adventure begins. Instead of just playing, they will get into the Minecraft world, navigate a life-sized Roblox obstacle course, or interact with Pokémon right in the classroom.

Using kid-friendly coding blocks, they define how the world works. Then, the real magic happens: with Holographic AR technology, they teleport into the game they just coded! It’s the perfect blend of learning and playing.

Along the way, campers build creativity, critical thinking, and persistence as they debug and improve the game worlds they create.

Experience the Magic of Holographic AR: We transform standard coding into an immersive, physical adventure.

• Step Inside Your Game: Using just a simple webcam, students are magically transported into the world. They interact directly with their creations in real-time.
• You Are the Controller: No keyboard required for gameplay! When you jump, your character jumps. When you wave, you cast a spell. It’s active, healthy, and incredibly fun.
• Imagination to Reality: Students see themselves interacting with the characters and worlds they built, bridging the gap between "pretend play" and real technology.
