Overview
Build a playable adventure where every jump is part of your design! In Level Up! Scratch Platformer Camp, campers will create a game where a character jumps between platforms, crosses gaps, and avoids obstacles to reach a goal. T
With guided instruction and room for creativity, campers will choose their character, theme, platform layout, and obstacles. They’ll explore how code controls movement, jumping, and landing on platforms. As they build and test, they’ll practice connecting instructions to actions, spotting problems, and adjusting their designs so players can navigate the challenges they create.
Campers will test games with classmates and take their project home on a provided USB drive to keep playing and creating. Sharing their work gives them a chance to see how someone else approaches their obstacles and make improvements. Some Scratch experience is recommended, with instructor support to help campers build confidence as they tackle new coding challenges.
