FROM THE TEACHER

Have you ever wanted to design your own video game? Now is your chance! Intro to Game Design is an excellent introduction to the skill of computer coding. In this course you will learn how to think sequentially, work on your problem-solving skills, and how to brainstorm and plan out a final project of your own creation! While you may be coding for the purpose of creating a game, the skills that you will learn and strengthen will be highly sought after when you advance in school and enter the work world.
