Maker Camp - Board Game (7/20 - 7/24)

Design it. Build it. Play it.

In Board Game Camp, students design and build original tabletop games from the ground up. Campers use digital design tools and hands-on maker technology to create physical game boards, pieces, and components, then test and refine their games through guided play. This camp blends creativity, problem-solving, and fabrication, giving students a finished, fully playable board game to take home and the skills to keep iterating on their ideas long after camp ends.

Activities Include:

1. Explore game design theories

2. Create your own board game from scratch or rebuild a favorite game with a unique twist

3. Make your own game pieces, boards, and packaging using traditional art forms blended with innovative fabrication machines and software

4. Finish the week with a Game-a-thon — show off your game and play everyone else’s creations!
