Join MODA for a virtual studio in which students will build a fantasy world where players explore forests, caves, floating islands, and other imaginative locations.

 

In this virtual studio, young designers will learn how to create interactive games using Scratch. They will design characters, obstacles, and environmental features, build a playable fantasy environment, and use block-based coding to let players move through the setting. At the end of the studio, students can share their work and receive feedback in a supportive environment.
