Could our school run AI-Driven Game Development on Phaser?

We ran this 24-hour course in 2025 under IMDA's LEARN Roadmaps, delivered under our partner Zenitant Pte Ltd. with a curriculum we designed. Students with no programming experience learned HTML, JavaScript, and VS Code, then built 2D browser games with sprites, physics, scoring, and levels, using GitHub Copilot from the free GitHub Education pack. This page describes that run. If you'd like a similar course for your school, write in. For younger students, see Game Development in MakeCode Arcade and Minecraft.

Course Overview

Students will learn game development using Phaser.js, a powerful HTML5 framework for creating interactive 2D games. Through hands-on projects, they will explore game design fundamentals, including sprite animation, physics, user input, and level creation. They will apply structured development workflows—planning, prototyping, and testing—to build engaging browser-based games from scratch.

This course is designed for beginners with no prior programming or game development experience but are eager to learn how to craft fun, playable games. By the end, students will have the skills to bring their game ideas to life and share them with others.

Lesson Outcomes

  • Familiarize with HTML, JavaScript, VSCode

  • Design and build 2D games using Phaser.js

  • Implement game mechanics like character movement, scoring systems, and level transitions.

  • Work with assets (images, animations, sound) and optimize them for web-based games.

  • Debug and test games to ensure smooth gameplay and fix common issues.

Details

Zenitant is a fellow Microsoft Global Training Partner, with whom we partnered to offer these courses to primary schools in 2025. Through our close collaboration, we have brought the annual 3d-tronics Micro-controller Challenge from 2018 to 2022. Students were guided through the process of signing up for their free GitHub Edu pack, offering GitHub Copilot licenses for AI-assisted coding (usually US$10/month). Training was provided under Zenitant Pte Ltd., with curriculum designed by Tinkercademy — email us to find out more.

What people say about our courses

The programme taught me that anything is possible. To be able to learn, from scratch, how to code an entire app and publish it on the App Store ― it's an experience that I'd recommend to anyone who's interested in coding! The community also kept me coming back long after I graduated. Truly a great programme.

Tinkercademy is a flexible, responsive and innovative partner, ready to always collaborate to develop cutting-edge coding programmes together with the school. They have depth of expertise, in both technology skills and pedagogy, to understand the needs of our students and engage them holistically.

My past year with the programme has been an incredible journey that I will cherish forever. I've always dreamt of sharing my work with the world, and thanks to the programme's supportive mentors, I turned that dream into reality by publishing my app on the App Store for everyone to use. Along the way, I made unforgettable memories and gained hands-on experience in app development.

Very useful workshop. Guidance and examples were very beginner friendly and easy for participants to follow and try during the workshop. Good to build confidence especially for absolute beginners.

Having the experience as ex-school teachers, Tinkercademy is able to utilise sound educational pedagogy… We continually receive good feedback from students… An Arduino teachers' workshop with Tinkercademy even inspired a couple of our Science teachers to design a term-long performance task.

Most of the time i didn't feel lost, it was thoroughly well explained. I also like the Kahoot quizzes at the end of each session.
