Web and Mobile Game Design Curriculum
Transform Gaming Passion into High-Wage Career Pathways with a Browser-Based Approach.
The global gaming industry has eclipsed the movie and music industries combined, with mobile games alone generating over $138 billion in 2025. For today’s students, gaming isn't just a hobby—it is a gateway to high-skill, high-wage careers in software engineering, digital marketing, and systems architecture. Our Web and Mobile Game Design curriculum provides schools with a turnkey, professional-grade solution to turn "players" into "creators."
Why Districts Choose Our Game Program
Professional 3D & 2D Engines—In the Browser
The primary barrier to launching a game design program is usually the hardware. Traditional engines like Unreal or Unity often require $2,000+ workstations that many school districts cannot afford or maintain. Our curriculum solves this by utilizing a 100% browser-based engine. Whether your students are using Chromebooks, Macs, or PCs, they have the power to design, code, and publish high-performance 2D and 3D games without any local software installation.
Free Industry-Recognized Certifications (IRCs)
We believe every student should graduate with a documented competitive edge. Through our partnership with Web Professionals Global, students have the option to earn a third-party, international industry-recognized certification.
- Stackable Credentials: Students earn micro-credentials in areas like Workplace Ethics alongside their primary Game Design certification.
- Perkins V Ready: Our program is specifically mapped to national standards, ensuring your district's investment is eligible for federal funding and grant support.
No Specialist Required: The Facilitator Advantage
You don't need a professional game developer on staff to offer a world-class program. Our curriculum is engineered for the "Learning Architect"—allowing motivated educators from any background to successfully lead the course. We provide the "Subject Matter Expertise" through media-rich modules, while the teacher focuses on mentoring and managing the project-based environment.
The Learning Journey: What Your Students Will Achieve
Our Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach ensures students don't just "study" games; they build them. Learners will demonstrate mastery in:
- Applied Physics & Math: Using geometry and logic to program character movements, environmental triggers, and game mechanics.
- Asset Creation: Designing original game music, sound effects, and graphical assets using a suite of free, web-based professional tools.
- Level Design & Storyboarding: Mastering the narrative and technical architecture required for engaging gameplay.
- Business & Ethics: Understanding the "Carbonade" virtual internship experience, focusing on digital citizenship, workplace ethics, and project management.
Standard Alignments & Technical Specifications
We ensure your program meets the highest educational and industry standards, including:
- National Career Clusters: Information Technology (IT) and STEM.
- Competition Ready: Direct alignment with SkillsUSA and FBLA national technical standards for game design and development.
- State Standards: Mapped to TEKS and more.
