Mobile Quest

An extraordinary intensive week-long summer day camp where fifth graders explore location-based game design

Mobile Quest is a forum for kids to collaborate with professional game designers, creative artists and other experts to learn how to turn great ideas into great location-based games. Working with full-featured smart phones and a variety of analog tools, kids learn the fundamentals of game design through a series of hands-on activities. They play original games designed by program mentors, then design and build their own digital and non-digital games.
