Creative Thinking
Through Game Design

Why Future Set?

Creative Problem-Solving

Game design is the perfect playground for developing critical thinking skills. Every game is a series of problems to solve: How do you make it challenging but fair? How do you guide players without telling them what to do? How do you make something fun?

At Future Set Tech Camp, students learn to think like designers - breaking down complex problems, testing solutions, and iterating based on feedback, skills they'll use in hobbies, school, and life.

Meaningful Learning

In many educational programs, learning means memorizing steps, facts or formulas. This type of rote learning often fails to facilitate conceptual understanding. As a result, students are not able to apply their learning.

At Future Set Tech Camp, new skills are taught in the context of engaging coding and game design projects and students are tasked with creatively applying what they learn. These methods are more likely to result in meaningful learning, or learning in which students understand concepts and are able to apply them as part of a problem-solving process.
