PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

GP: NYU Tandon's Spring Program, Crafting Play, Designing Games is a 2-week, 10-class online program that introduces high-school students to the fundamentals of designing and developing games. As this is a project-driven course, students can expect to learn through hands-on studio work, as well as implement their skills in the service of crafting a working game prototype by the end of the course. By the end of this course, students should be well prepared for a transition into taking undergraduate STEM majors in college – students who are interested in pursuing careers in game design and development, product or industrial design, interaction design, or creative technologies will find this course ideal as an introduction to these fields.

Meet Our Mentors

The offerings in Digital Design and Media are created and supervised by Profs. Ahmed Ansari and Scott Fitzgerald, inspired by their own courses and those of their colleagues in Tandon's Integrated Design and Media program or an introductory robotics class.
