Project-Based Experience Program

Build. Create. Launch Something Real.
Project #1: Mini-Video Game
Children discover how to initiate project planning, design games, utilize digital tools (Canva, Scratch, and guided AI support) to craft a game, monitor project stages, and present their completed work. They not only learn to create a basic video game but also to oversee an extended 6-week project, enhancing their skills and preparing for subsequent tasks.
