Creative Learning Fun for Children Aged 8 to 12 Years

The workshop is aimed at children between 8 and 12 years old. No prior knowledge is required. Age-appropriate and child-friendly, the participants learn how a video game is created and what makes a good level.

From Idea to Our Own Jump'n'Run

Using Bloxels, the young media makers design their own game world. They develop characters, plan obstacles, and think about what tasks and jumps make a level exciting. This family experience combines creative designing with digital media education, logical thinking, and playful problem-solving.

Media Competence with Imagination and Team Spirit

Practical work strengthens curiosity, independence, and the ability to implement one’s own ideas. Children immediately experience how a functioning game is created from individual building blocks. The shared learning experience creates laughter, wonder, and a positive sense of community among the children.

Safe and No Prior Knowledge Required

The program is designed as a low-threshold workshop for children. Participation does not require prior experience. The focus is on a child-friendly introduction, creative experimentation, and a conscious approach to digital media.

Conclusion

The media maker workshop shows how much fun learning can be in creating one’s own game idea. Children experience digital education not abstractly, but rather build their own world step by step. An inspiring family experience for curious game designers of tomorrow.
