A weekly game design code club for teens/young people.

We will be using a game design system designed by Mick Chesterman as well as trying out other (free) coding and game-making platforms with a focus on effective design and constantly improving our work. Participants can create their own games and learn new skills, then we play each-other's games.

Once we are happy with our game we start on physical computing, using Makey-Makeys to load our game into a DIY arcade machine.

Each week there will be new challenges and skills demonstrated and facilitated but participants are also free to use the space to work on their own projects.

Computers provided or bring your own.

Access to a Microsoft account will enable participants to save their work and optionally log-in and continue in their own time.

£5 each session or £20 for 5 weeks paid in advance

Code & Crumble club 28 March & 4 April

Start date: 28th March 2022

End date: 4th April 2022

Time: 4-5pm

Location: Todmorden Makery, Todmorden Learning Centre

This is a 2 week taster for what will become a regular weekly code club after Easter, based at the Makery in Todmorden. We had some regulars coming to the code club & Code the Flow in Mytholmroyd before lockdown, but this one is also open to new participants.

  • Advance booking essential; contact here
  • Suggested ages 8-15 depending on experience/computer competence
  • £5 per participant per session (contact us for concessions)
  • run by DBS checked, experienced tutors
  • Bring your own computer or use one of ours
  • Places limited to 8 for now so book your place ASAP

This will be an informal session, in-between a workshop and a code club. Each week will start off with led activities which participants can take part in and continue with, or choose to follow their own interests. We will encourage participants to help each other to learn new skills and explore their own interests, with support from the tutor when needed.

The two main activities that we will be offering are:

1) Game Maker. Play a simple game that is slightly broken. Find out how to fix the code to fix the game, then adapt and develop your own game.

2) Crumbles. Using the excellent Crumble controller which involves hardware and basic electronics. We will experiment with multi-coloured LED lights and sensors, building interactive light features.
