In the STEM CREATOR students will participate in the following two activities. Lunch is included with the cost of registration along with exposure to Maryville's campus and college experiences. Break Out Creatively ~ Students will work in teams to develop a stopmotion animated movie or iMovie that provides clues, instructions, or puzzles as part of an escape room “break out.” Inventors can also choose to incorporate projects from other Teen Tech classes to publish or add to their escape room experience. Game Design ~ Build experience in the video game development process with Maryville's Professor of Game Design! We'll plan levels on paper, then create them using industry standard software such as Unity3D. We'll test our new creations before we adjust them to make them even more fun! We'll explore core principles of game design such as game mechanics, difficulty, gameplay extensions as we bring exciting game experiences to life!
