Build your own world, then bring it to life.

For the first time ever, our Game & Tech Camp is diving into 3D game creation. Campers will explore how 3D games are designed by creating environments, shaping gameplay, and bringing interactive ideas to life using tools like Unity.

By the end of the week, they’ll have a playable 3D game they can share with friends and family and a whole new understanding of how their favorite games are made.

Whether you’re new to game design or already love tech, this is your chance to level up and create in 3D.
