Camp Overview

Video games are unique in combining diverse disciplines – art, programming, architecture, story-telling, iterative development, quality testing and many more. Learn to combine these domains to create your game! Design your own heroes and villains, build exciting levels, and make them come to life with stories and animations. With Bloxels, students are empowered to create and share within a medium they know and love: video games, learning in the process.

About Instructor

Kris Lee is a seasoned game designer and developer who was granted the NUS SMART Explorer fund to kickstart his first game studio, blackcowstudios with an award-winning action strategy game, Plutonic Repulse. He later joined Serious Games International as a Game Designer, designing a resource management game, ChocoShop. As a Game Producer, he led the production of numerous projects ranging from iOS mobile games to 3D simulation training games. Experimenting with new game ideas during his free time, he wants to keep his mind afresh and share his experience in game making with children as young as 5 years old, believing that such skill development comes from passion and interest.

With Bloxels, you can realise your own video game ideas, build and animate original characters, develop villains, add in power-ups, and more. Prepare for a journey of discovery and experimentation as you unleash your imagination.
