Brick Labs Inc. — Video Game Design

My son attended the full-day Video Game Design program at Brick Labs Inc. in Toronto last week, and overall, it was a solid experience. His instructor, Jake, was enthusiastic and clearly knowledgeable about game design, which kept the kids engaged. They spent the day working on their own video games, which my son loved. He was really excited to show me the character he designed and the levels he built. The small group size meant that he got individual attention, which was great. However, I did notice that there was quite a bit of screen time, which I’m usually cautious about. While I understand that game design involves computers, I wish they had balanced it with some hands-on activities. Overall, I’d recommend the program, especially if your child is creative and interested in technology.

My son attended the full-day Video Game Design program at Brick Labs Inc. in Toronto last week, and overall, it was a solid experience. The instructor, Alex, was very engaged and supportive, ensuring that each child had the opportunity to express their ideas. My son loved creating his first video game level and even made a new friend in the process, which was a nice bonus. The only downside was the amount of screen time; I wish there had been more hands-on activities to balance it out. The pickup process was smooth, which I appreciated, but it can get a bit crowded during the rush. Despite that, I would recommend this program for kids who are creative and interested in technology. It's a good mix of learning and fun, even if it leans a little too heavily on screens at times.
