AI-powered Game Development & Asset Creation with Claude Code
The camp
GameBuilder is Think Camp’s flagship camp. It takes students to the bleeding edge of agentic software design in a manner that is both fun and empowering. We guide campers through a creative process that unlocks their wildest and most original game development ideas - noting these down as they uncover them.
We then spend time hand-crafting our game assets - our levels, characters, and the look and feel of our games. Finally, we learn how to best interact with Claude Code - one of the most advanced AI models available - to bring our ideas to life. Campers leave with a copy of their game and a new perspective on what is possible.
By 3:30pm, we will have…
Good to know
Every camp includesA printed certificate, games & activities, a parent showcase, flexible drop-off, like-minded friends, and a 1:12 instructor-to-camper ratio.
Before you book
Does my child need any experience?
None at all. Total beginners and seasoned builders both thrive — an instructor meets every camper exactly where they are.
Do they need their own laptop?
No — we provide everything, from the laptops to the software and all the gear. They just bring themselves.
What should they bring?
Just lunch, snacks and a water bottle. We handle the rest, and there are breaks built into the day.
How big are the groups?
Small and personal — we cap it at a 1:12 instructor-to-camper ratio so no one gets left behind.
Can I come to the showcase?
Please do! The last half-hour is a parent showcase where campers demo what they built that day.
Do they need any coding experience?
None at all. We start from the basics — with Claude Code helping, campers get a real game working without getting stuck on syntax.
