Tired of playing those same, boring video games? Learn to design your own in this high–tech camp. Studying characters and video games in the Smithsonian’s collections and drawing inspiration from museum objects, campers use a video–game engine to create characters, game levels, and animation, and learn the ins and outs of game design and development.
