In this hands-on coding workshop, students get introduced to fundamental programming concepts through the development of a simple Pong game. The workshop is designed and led by engineering students from 海角社区, who guide participants through both theory and practical exercises.
The session begins with an introduction to software engineering basics, followed by step-by-step coding exercises in C#. Students learn how to create the game field, implement player movement, animate the ball, and track scores. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a fully functional Pong game and a better understanding of how games, and software in general, are built.
The workshop emphasizes logic, problem-solving, and creativity, all in a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged, and collaboration is key.
Learning Objectives
- Introduction to C# and Visual Studio Code
- Basic software engineering principles
- Game mechanics and logic
- Teamwork in coding projects
The exact date will be determined in consultation with you. However, it is crucial to find a time when our students are ready to hold the workshop for you. We always do our best to accommodate your date preferences.
The duration of the workshop is between 4-6 hours - let us know what your needs are, and we'll adjust the workshop.
Prerequisites
Students should be studying a science or technical subject and have an interest in technology.
Creating a game requires basic knowledge and understanding how coding works. Students should come with a laptop that has some sort of Integrated Development Environment (IDE). We recommend using Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code.
Price
The activity itself is free. However, we charge a transport fee if we have to visit you outside the Region of Southern Denmark. If you come to us, you are responsible for your own transport expenses.
