What is Junior Game Creators?

Junior Game Creators (powered by Gamewagon) is for kids who want to look a little deeper at the games they play at home.

Over the course of our sessions we’ll learn about and play some of the most popular games around like Minecraft, FIFA and Mario Bros. before handing over the creation tools to our gamers. We task our Junior Game Creators with designing their own versions of these amazing games in Scratch, the programming software that is now part of the national computing curriculum.

All delivered by our inspirational Game Experience Managers that deliver our video game experiences in our fleet of game wagon’s across the UK.

More than just code

Users Vs Creators
Kids are constantly using technology today, but how many are learning to create it?

Every primary student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. The recent changes in the national curriculum have recognised the need and ability for children to start early. The basics of coding help nurture creativity and problem-solving skills, and prepare students for a wide variety of future careers.

Game Based Learning

Junior Game Creators is more than just about code. Each session is a super fun group learning experience.Everyone works towards a common goal, in teams, on challenges that will stretch their creativity in art, design, maths, problem solving, team work and communication. In the same way that learning to read enables learning, learning to code opens up a world of exploration and opportunity.

Guided Discovery
Learning computer science helps nurture problem-solving skills, logic and creativity. Starting early gives students a foundation for success in any 21st-century career path and makes the transition to secondary school less intimidating. By using games as a focus even the most difficult concepts are no longer barriers but simply a way to a desired result.
