Join us in youth making games together. Support middle schoolers in STEAM and the fun of creating art, music, story, design, and code to bring their imagination to life.
No technical expertise required. Volunteers are trained and educated to become great learning mentors. Youth use easy to learn visual programming in Scratch and open source tools like Pixlr and Beepbox.
The program is each semester for 8-10 weeks, and we ask for a committment of at least 6 sessions.
