Cast spells, summon creatures, and use magical objects to defeat your opponents. Get an introduction or review of the basics of Magic: The Gathering, the world’s most popular trading card game. We will do a draft where everyone will pick cards and then use those decks to play each other. If you have your own cards, you can bring them, but we won’t be trading—the focus will be on gameplay. Beginners and experienced players are welcome. Magic is easy to learn, difficult to master!

Put on your designer’s hat and create a board game. You’ll pick the look, the illustrations, and the highlights and pitfalls of the play. Design the movement, reward, and resource management systems and then combine them so that they work together. We’ll take breaks for group trivia, riddles, logic puzzles, and indoor and outdoor games.

Immerse yourself in the world of Avatar the Last Airbender while tackling the complexity of coding concepts. Using Minecraft as your canvas, you’ll harness the power of the four elements—air, water, earth, and fire—by modifying the game’s underlying code. Create powerful objects and abilities that don’t exist in the game. Learn Java programming to build mods from the ground up and “hack” the game through your creativity and problem-solving.
