Game Studio Pilot Program
Anacostia Youth Media, in collaboration with Covenant House, is excited to launch the Game Studio Pilot Program! This program is designed to give Washington, DC youth an opportunity to explore coding, game design, and the creative process behind developing a video game—all while working collaboratively in a studio setting. Together, we’ll establish a game studio (we’ll even name it as a team!) and collaborate to design and build a short, playable game.
About the Program
The program will run for six weeks, from February 26th, 2025, to April 2nd, 2025.
Sessions will be held on Wednesday evenings, from 4/4:30 PM to 8 PM. Each session includes:
Instruction on coding and game design.
Work time to apply what you've learned to the project.
