high school and middle school Web AND MOBILE Video GAME Design

How often have you wanted to tell a student to stop playing a game on their phone or computer? How about you? Do you enjoy the challenge of a well-made video game? We all know how engaging games are. Did you know that 2025 revenue for mobile games was more than $138 billion? To put that into perspective, the global movie industry is around $30 billion. By 2025, over 70% of Google Play’s revenue will be from mobile games. Web games are a fast way to get to market, and if designed correctly, they can easily be played on any PC, Mac, Chromebook, tablet, and smartphone. This curriculum is easy for you to facilitate and teaches your students how to design, build and get their web and mobile game apps to market quickly.


As a sector, the web and mobile game industry is a leader in high-skill and high-wage jobs that are in high demand. Who will be the next generation of game designers feeding this growing industry? Why not give your high school or middle school students a start in this exciting industry? Whether played in a browser, on a laptop or on a mobile device, these highly interactive applications have changed how we see entertainment, marketing, and community.
