PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

GP: NYU Tandon's Crafting Play, Designing Games is a 2-week 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 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 our Creative Technology track (UX, XR, GamePro) are designed by Profs. Ahmed Ansari and Scott Fitzgerald and graduate instructors, inspired by their work and the classes offered to undergraduate and graduate students in NYU Tandon's Integrated Design and Media program.
