Participants learn to control their self-designed video games using hand gestures, powered by Artificial Intelligence, offering a unique, controller-free gaming experience.
In the Seattle Parks and Recreation's AI Arcade: Game Design camp, participants transform from gamers into creators by designing their own video games from scratch. The curriculum focuses on practical game development, where students learn to use Artificial Intelligence to control game characters through hand gestures, eliminating the need for traditional controllers. This hands-on approach allows campers to develop digital logic and creativity as they build interactive environments and implement game mechanics. The camp culminates in a celebration of each student's finished game, providing a tangible outcome of their efforts.
A typical day involves students designing and building their own video games, learning to integrate AI for gesture-based controls, and testing their creations.
This camp is ideal for middle school students who are enthusiastic about gaming and interested in understanding the fundamentals of game design and artificial intelligence.
