Coding is one of the most in demand STEM careers. There continues to be a shortage of skilled coders because of a lack of coding courses available and experienced teacher availability. This course solves both of these problems.

Students and teachers do not need any previous coding or design experience for this course.


This hands-on course guides students through the thrilling process of creating their own 3D video game. Along the way they will learn critical STEM skills, develop confidence, and build a portfolio that will help them find work in this exciting and always in-demand STEM field.


This course is available as a one or two semester offering, depending on how you choose to deploy it. If you are interested in providing students with marketable skills and an education that prepares them to make a difference in the world, this is the course you have been searching for. Feel free to contact us to receive a free brochure and sample syllabus.
