The M3DS Academy curriculum goes beyond theory; it teaches practical skills essential for teen success. Here is an overview of the main topics covered:

• Video Game Design Basics: More than just cool graphics, this section teaches what makes games fun. Participants dive deep into gameplay mechanics, the art of storytelling, user interface (UI) design—and more. Imagine if your teen could keep players entertained for hours! 
• Programming Languages: At M3DS Academy we speak game code – and students learn to fluently communicate in industry-standard languages like: 
  • Python 
  • C++ 
  • JavaScript 
• Coding Exercises: Through interactive exercises along with hands-on projects kids not only grasp core coding concepts but can also directly apply them to creating their video games from scratch.
• 3D Modeling & Animation: To create immersive environments one needs tools—which is exactly what enrollees receive by taking this part of our curriculum. 
• Exploring Game Engines: Participants get introduced to engines such as Unity or Unreal which have pre-built functions so all you have to worry about is making great games!

Our academy doesn’t force anyone to “reinvent the wheel” and create new technology—instead, we show them how powerful professional tools can help make their vision a reality

In short, if creativity has ever sparked curiosity then M3DS Academy may very well provide the perfect springboard for turning ideas into something playable.

Game development for teens is becoming extremely popular globally. Picture yourself heading into a job interview after college with a portfolio full of video games you created yourself. That’s the power of having a great portfolio! At M3DS Academy, we don’t just teach video game development — we also help students make their projects shine so brightly that they can’t be ignored when it’s time to apply for jobs or further their education. Here are some benefits: 

• Stand out when applying for college: Show admissions officers what you’re passionate about and what you can Impress possible employers during job interviews.
• Demonstrate real-world skills: This you have gained through creating video games. 
• Start to build a reputation while still in school: Share your work with other people who like video games at conferences or online communities.
• Networking: Find others who might want to collaborate with you on projects.

We give our students the tools not only to succeed in creating their video games but also to showcase these abilities in ways that command attention.

Now passion is fantastic—but if you want a thriving career in video games, you’ll need more than enthusiasm. Here’s some of the science behind it:

• Better at problem-solving: In 2020, researchers discovered that students who took part in coding classes improved their problem-solving abilities significantly. This will come as no surprise to video game developers, who spend lots of time working out how to overcome digital baddies or find hidden keys. 
• More likely to think creatively— and innovate: Studies have also shown that there could be something special about creating one’s computer games (which you can do in class). People who’ve looked into this reckon design activities like these help youngsters become better at thinking outside the box and coming up with new ideas. 
• Team players with social skills: coders are always telling each other what to do —and sharing jobs when they’re making things like apps or websites together. Coding clubs don’t only teach technical stuff; being part of a “computing community” may also improve children’s communication skills.
• Confidence boost: Taking advanced maths and science subjects early on in school could make teenagers more confident according to a report published last year by the American Psychological Association. A separate study among youngsters ages five-seven suggested regular experience with these subjects might increase their resilience when facing difficult or unknown tasks –something else that will resonate with anyone who has ever written code and felt like crying then managed to fix. 
• Early Age Skills: All in all these findings suggest there are lots of reasons why parents should encourage their offspring to get into computer programming sooner rather than later—if nothing else just to give them a head start on careers.

M3DS Academy’s programs for youngsters, teenagers, and young adults meet this need by giving young people a caring place to explore their interests, build important skills, and get ahead in the competitive world of game development — an industry that’s always changing.

Support at M3DS AcademyM3DS Academy knows that learning is best done with others cheering you on. That’s why we offer loads more than just coursework! We have lots of resources and programs outside the curriculum to inspire your child’s passion for game development. We also want to give them the skills to succeed – both here and elsewhere!

• Learn from the Legends: Anyone can teach video game design. But at M3DS Academy, we think it’s cool for students to meet pros who do it for a living! We organize regular workshops and guest lectures with industry veterans. Imagine getting tips from the people who made your favorite games.
• Find Your Tribe: Do you want somewhere other than school where you can hang out with friends who love games as much as you do? Our online community lets users share work, swap ideas, and make new friends. It’s not a competition, it’s a place where collaboration and encouragement reign supreme. After all, even the greatest designers needed some help along the way!
• Charting Your Course: People have different ideas about what sort of job they’d like after finishing school. Fortunately, an education in video game design opens up lots of doors — and we can help with things like resumes or further study too.

At M3DS Academy, we go above and beyond to make sure that you have everything you need – both in terms of tools and support. Our aim isn’t just for you to learn technical skills, but to thrive as well: entering into what is an incredibly exciting field (game development).
