Free for kids: learn to code and make a video game at YouthSpark camp


Join Microsoft for a free two-hour camp where participants will create and publish an interactive computer game. The camp is offered for K-12 students from 6-8 pm April 1 at the Microsoft store in Aventura Mall and from 4:30-6:30 pm April 4 at the store in Dadeland Mall.
During this camp, participants will be introduced to coding and game development with a focus on screen coordinates and other introductory programming concepts. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: • Describe a “computer program.” • Use the coordinate system to place game objects on the screen. • Follow a Touch Develop Tutorial to create an interactive game. • Get a glimpse at what programmers need to know to create games. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today.
Participants are asked to bring headphones for this camp.
Please note: The parent, legal guardian or authorized adult caregiver of every camp participant under 18 must sign a Participation Agreement on the first day of camp and remain in the Microsoft store for the duration of the event. While your child is in camp, parents can learn about online safety for their kids, try out a new Surface Book or Surface Pro 4, get a PC tune up, and more. Plus, all students get a 10% discount at the Microsoft Store
