The Course
The initial 6 week block is an introduction period where your child will learn to make a basic game using Clickteam Fusion. Clickteam fusion is an easy to use graphical programming language, which is more powerful than Scratch and easier to use than python. You can download a free version of the software to use at home.

Once inducted; the student will be supported and mentored to in an aspect of game making in 6 week blocks (They can continue work at home).

They will later be able to chose to make their own games from the start as their skills grow.

This course is not a formal qualification, we set our own scheme of work and are happy to share updates with you. 

Your child will be automatically enrolled onto the next 6 week block unless we are notified that you no longer want to attend. Please note we can not hold places if your child is not attending or engaging in the sessions.
