Imagine New Worlds with Reading and Games
Have you ever wanted to create your own adventure story or a game you can play with friends?
Bringing games to life can be easy and fun! Join Pixel Arts for five days of fun, hands-on workshops to create tabletop and video games with your friends. We’ll draw, sketch, and design games inspired by your favorite books and your imagination.
You’ll be able to:
- Build your own game worlds using cards, paper, tiles, dice, and tokens
- Write a choose-your-own-adventure game with Twine – a game-making software
- Bring your game to life with SNAP – an easy to learn visual programming software
- Combine your projects or continue on with one of them in a free-for-all maker place
- Learn about game developer careers and local game spaces
- At the end of the activities, share your games with friends online and at the library!
Registration required and participants are encouraged to attend all five sessions.
