Lego Children's FundThe Lego Children's Fund is providing support for ITEC's Science and Art of Game Design program.

This new project will prepare students in our camps and classes to participate in a video game design competition ITEC will hold in collaboration with educational partners. The goals of the competition are to inspire students’ creativity, promote a strong sense of pride in their abilities as game designers, foster collaboration, and build a community of students from different schools who share enthusiasm for game design.

Working together with real game designers, middle school students will:

  • Explore the science and technology that exists inside today's games
  • Discuss the art of making games fun
  • Learn about the connections that knowledge they learn in school can have to making great games
  • Hone their skills by taking part in game design challenges


This is accomplished through creative, project-based learning where students play a wide range of games, improve games already made, and create new games completely from scratch.
