Codecamp Limited — Video Game Design

My 12-year-old attended the Video Game Design program at Codecamp Limited in London last week, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Jake, was incredibly engaging, which kept the kids focused throughout the session. They worked on creating their own simple video games using software that was suitable for their age group. My child was thrilled to show me their game, complete with fun characters and levels they designed themselves. One small annoyance was the amount of screen time; I would have preferred more hands-on activities away from the computers. Pickup was smooth, and the small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. My child made a new friend during the program, which was a nice bonus. I would recommend this program, but keep in mind the screen time aspect if your child is sensitive to that.

I enrolled my 12-year-old in Codecamp Limited's Video Game Design program in London, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Jake, was genuinely engaged with the kids, guiding them through the intricacies of game development. My child particularly enjoyed creating a simple platform game, which allowed for a mix of creativity and logic. The small group size meant each participant got plenty of attention, which was a plus. However, I did notice there was quite a bit of screen time. As a parent, I prefer balance, so I found that a bit concerning. Pickup was smooth, and I appreciated the clear communication from the staff. If you have a creative child who loves technology, I’d recommend this program, but just keep an eye on their screen exposure.
