Where kids  3rd - 8th grade leap into coding Apps, Animated Games & Robotics

Exclusive & Limited Spots Available

Introduction

How old were they when these global changers wrote their first line of code? Bill Gate, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and Elun Musk? The answer is 13yrs, 10yrs, 13 yrs and 12yrs respectively. One thing they all have in common is that they started young. Let this summer be the first of many, or a continued endeavour of your kid(s) nurturing their hidden potential for robotics and programming by building the right foundation through coding apps, games and animated stories that they can play on their computer and even share with family and friends. Our curriculum from Tynker is designed to fit each student’s learning style and needs. It's a summer for them to learn, imagine, collaborate, while creating their own games rather than playing games created by others.

Game Design Fundamentals

Learn what it takes to build your own video game worlds. Design and build your own games from start to finish using drag-and-drop programming with Tynker. Build 2D game worlds, design your own animated heroes and villains, program game controls and motion, add music, and program your own game logic. At the end of the week, show of your own original games and play them with friends and family.

Game Development Studio

Learn to plan and design a variety of game types. Over the course of a week, you will design and build 2D platformers, top-down games, sidescrollers and physics based games. Students build a foundation of programming basics and apply them as they build a different class of game each day.

About The City of Arlington, TX

Arlington is located approximately 12 miles east of downtown Fort Worth and 20 miles west of downtown Dallas. The first european settlement arose in 1840 after territorial battles between General Edward H Tarrant and Native Americans; a trading post was thereby established in Marrow Bone Spring which is now presently Arlington. Expansive industrial scales began in 1954 with the establishment of a General Motors assembly plant. Since then through to 1990’s Arlington experienced one of America’s fastest and largest population booms being dubbed as “boomburb” suburb in post-World War II era.

Today Arlington is home to the University of Texas at Arlington, a doctoral-granting institution as well as hosting some of the most esteemed sporting teams including the Texas Rangers' Globe Life Park in Arlington, as well as the Dallas Cowboy’s AT&T Stadium; the International Bowling Campus (which houses the United States Bowling Congress, International Bowling Museum and the International Bowling Hall of Fame), and the theme parks Six Flags Over Texas (the original Six Flags) and Hurricane Harbor.
