Day 1:

This session serves as a light-hearted introduction to Tynker and the Super Mario game. Students will learn about game design and theory of a platformer game. Students can unleash their creativity when they create their own sounds, Super Mario characters, enemies, coin systems, platforms and backgrounds.

Students will be focus on the main character of the game, i.e. Super Mario. They will be taught the proper arrangement of block-based programming and basic programming concepts in order to control their main character. E.g. When the up arrow is pressed, Super Mario will jump.

Day 2:

In this session, students will focus on the collectibles as such the coins in order to create an interactive game. E.g. For their collectibles to disappear when Super Mario touches it, students will learn the functions of show, wait and hide blocks and when to use them.

Students will also be given time and a chance for them to unleash their creativity as they add different characters to make the game more fun, as well as further coding for increased interactions between the player and their game. At the end of this workshop, students will get a chance to play with their classmates’ creations.
