Video Game Design
The program
Elementary / Collège (France)
The Video Game Design program provides students with an opportunity to develop a greater awareness of the fields of technology and design through the creation of a video game from A to Z. As they discover the different components of a video game, students tackle every step of the creative process: developing ideas and prototypes, writing a game design document, carrying out the production, game tests and revisions. They learn to master a range of technological tools connected to the project’s different aspects (sound, visuals, programming, etc.).

As they discover the different components of a video game, students tackle every step of game development, namely ideation, design, prototyping, game testing and production. They learn to master a range of technological tools connected to the project’s sound and visual aspects, as well as its programming. Their creativity is thoroughly engaged as they create original sounds and images and develop the game’s brand in a commercialization context. Lastly, this project provides students with an opportunity to develop strong project management capabilities and collaborative skills.
