Kids Arcade Lab

​Ever wanted to create your own retro video game? Join us in the Design Suite for a hands-on, creative coding workshop!

​Using MakeCode Arcade (a beginner-friendly block coding platform similar to Scratch), you'll learn how to build real arcade game mechanics—from hero movements to enemies and collectables. Once your game logic is locked in, it’s time to unleash your inner digital artist! You’ll dive deep into pixel art to design custom characters, enemies, and game worlds that reflect your own unique style.

​By the end of the session, you'll have a fully playable game to test out, show your family, and keep building at home if you want to!

​This event is delivered in partnership with Fife Council Employability Team and supported by CodeBase.

Who it's for: Ages 10–14 (Perfect for absolute beginners or experienced Scratch creators!)

What to expect: Coding logic, custom pixel art design, game testing, and lots of creative freedom.

No need to bring anything along, we'll provide the laptops!
