Make games rather than play them using your own ideas! Become game developers using a physical and virtual platform for creating video games in the classroom. When students build games, they become the writers, artists, designers, and developers of their own interactive stories.
It all starts with an idea. We provide resources that encourage collaboration while guiding students through a design thinking process. Students create their own 13-bit layouts, characters, and art for their game.
- turn your physical creations into digital game elements
- edit and customize everything from characters to settings
- develop interactions and behaviour between characters
- tell rich, dynamic narratives through your games
- publish them so others can play them too

Children use the Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Mindstorms EV3 to design robots to solve real world problems. They learn to code their robots in interactive challenges. In addition to the basics of robotics, children learn key engineering principles such as force and motion, gear ratios and aerodynamics.
