Build: Arcade - March Break Intensive

Build: Arcade is an introductory Computer Science course for Middle and High School learners. Using Makecode Arcade, we will build retro style video games. While exploring the early history of video games, we will learn the fundamentals of the Makecode Arcade game development engine.

Makecode Arcade is a great first step into the world of video game development, as well as the larger world of Computer Science. No prior coding experience necessary.
