Game Design and Interactive Controllers

Game Design and Interactive Controllers is a workshop where children explore both the logic and the physical experience of games.

Participants design simple arcade-style games using Python and Game Design Documents. They then build custom controllers using joysticks, webcam-based inputs, and experimental materials.

The workshop helps children understand how games are structured and how interaction shapes the way they are played.

What children explore:

• Basics of coding using Python

• Game design structure and planning

• Controller design and prototyping

• Interaction between user input and gameplay
