Online Camp

Make games with us from home

You don't have to travel to Indiana to learn the game development process from our industry-experienced faculty. Online Game Camp allows students to join us from all over the world.

You'll interact with faculty and other campers remotely, work through software tutorials, and use your imagination to create your own game in just one week.

No special gaming computer is needed for this camp. All you need is a webcam/microphone, and a laptop or desktop computer, either Mac or PC. The game development software being used is web-based and free so no purchase or download is needed ahead of time. A tablet could possibly work if a keyboard and mouse are hooked up to it, but a full computer is recommended.

The session dates for summer 2025 are: June 9-13.
