Students gain hands-on experience creating 2D games and integrating AI tools for image, sound, and music generation, guided by an ASU professor and student assistants.
The ASU Game and AI Camp is an immersive, hands-on program designed for middle and high school students (7th-10th grades) interested in game design, coding, and creativity. Participants will learn to create fun and interactive 2D games using GameMaker, a beginner-friendly game development platform. The curriculum covers fundamental 2D game development, including designing characters, building game mechanics, and programming logic. A unique aspect of the camp is the integration of exciting AI tools for automatically generating 2D images, sound effects, and music, adding a distinctive touch to student projects. Students will engage in individual and team-based game projects, participate in structured lessons, and utilize on-site desktop computers with step-by-step guidance from an ASU professor and student assistants. By the end of the week, campers will have developed their own original games and gained a solid introduction to both game development and creative AI technologies.
Students will engage in structured lessons on programming logic, game mechanics, and game design, followed by supervised computer-based development sessions using on-site desktop computers, with breaks for recreational activities.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students (7th-10th grades) who are interested in game design, coding, and exploring creative applications of AI.
