Description:

Learn how to design Super Mario Bros. levels like a pro! There are many aspects to game development that make getting started out difficult or intimidating. For an aspiring game designer, Mario Maker handles the artwork and programming, leaving the design aspects entirely up to you! Place blocks and enemies, establish clear conditions, and more to create fascinating levels that are fun for all. Students will follow a kid-friendly process similar to real video game designers who create the games they play at home! Additionally, students work on their communication skills as they present their games to the class and give/receive feedback.
