LEVEL UP!
Our After-School Program
LEVEL UP PROGRAM
Our Level Up after school program is unlike any other coding class out there because our students learn all aspects of making a game from concept, design, 2D art, 3D art and audio to Unity3D engine tools and C# coding. Just as importantly, we use programs and languages that can be used in the real world at real jobs. And if that isn’t exciting enough, students will immerse themselves into all types of modern technologies like robotics, arduino, 3D printing and much more!
As they learn, students will earn points which will allow them to level up to different rankings. They also earn reward points that can be used to exchange for valuable prizes on the level up wall!
Level Up – Master Warriors class will cover a wide range of skills, disciplines and hi-tech courses, encouraging students to tap into both sides of their brain in a journey of self discovery. Many will be astonished to learn they have a creative side! Others may realize that coding is super fun and enjoy the analytical or coding side of things. And many students will discover they enjoy doing a little bit of everything!
When a game is developed, it is usually the result of many iterations of concept art, the testing of prototype worlds and game mechanics as well as ever evolving story lines. Students will learn organizational skills and unleash their creative talents during this process while creating their own version of the game they will be developing in the class.
One of the many apps that students will learn is Unity3D. Unity3D is the premiere game development tool in use today. It is an ecosystem of developer, artist and designer tool sets. At its core is an extremely powerful 3D engine that can take your child’s imagination and transform it into reality or virtual reality! The proof is in the numbers. 82 of the top 100 games use Unity! At Game Warriors we teach students this magnificent platform and help them bring their own imaginations to life!
Once students have created all the content for their game into Unity (art assets, audio, particle effects, etc.) not much will happen… until they make it happen! That’s where coding comes in. Students will write C# code to bring their worlds to life! C# is used in virtually every industry and is one of the most popular and powerful languages in the world. Learning C# is an investment towards your child’s future!
Coming later in 2025, we will offer 2 additional pathways for our Level Up series, Code Warriors and Creative Warriors.
- Level Up – Code Warriors will focus on all things coding, from JavaScript and Python to C#. Students will learn all aspects of coding, from user interfaces, graphics, physics, artificial intelligence, server frontend and backend scripting and much more.
- Level Up – Creative Warriors on the other hand will focus on all things creative! This includes painting and drawing digital art using state of the art tablets. Parents will get to see some of their best work digitally and even via printed art. Not only will students learn how to paint beautiful 2D artwork, they will also learn how to create 3D models and animations as used in video games!
Recommended Path
LEVEL UP - MASTER WARRIORS
LEVEL UP – MASTER WARRIORS
The Master Warriors series of lessons covers a wide range of game development and hi-tech skills and disciplines.
Students discover all aspects of game development from design, digital art creation in 2D and 3D, coding in Python, Javascript, C# and much more!
It’s more than just game development though! Students get to dive into all the latest tech, like 3D printing, Arduino and robotics, Minecraft Mods, Roblox development and more!
- FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE!
Students learn at their own pace and can schedule any time! - GAMING & TECH!
Students learn game development plus robotics, 3D printing, modding and more! - STIMULATE BOTH SIDES OF THE BRAIN!
Students will learn how to be creative as well as analytical! - LEVEL UP PRIZES!
As students complete lessons, they earn XP and Warrior points that they can use towards great prizes on the Level Up wall!
Additional Paths
COMING 2025! Creative Warriors – Imagine Anything Create Everything! Creative Warriors takes students on a journey of artistic expression and discovery! Students will learn how to paint game objects, sprites, user interfaces, backgrounds and more with the GIMP painting app. Students will also learn to create animations in 2D animation software. They will learn how to create sound effects and background scores for their games, Youtube videos and more. As they learn more about digital artwork they will be introduced to 3D modeling and animations using Blender. Students will love exploring their creative side with the Creative Warriors pathway and parents will love it as well when their children bring home their own printed artwork!
COMING 2025! Code Warriors – Crafting Tomorrow’s Innovators Today. Code Warriors focuses on all things coding. If your child already knows they want to be a coder then this Level Up pathway will be for them. They will learn the fundamentals like flow charting, variables, data structures, the syntax’s of popular languages like C#, Java and Python and much more. Students will create different games that they can have creative freedom over and call them their own.
