Time Well Spent
Game-U Live 1:1 offers your child a chance to test the waters of game design, challenge their creativity and problem solving skills, and get exposed to a career in game development.
Your Kids Will Learn
There are four basic topics or “Tracks” to choose from.
Game Design
If you think playing games is fun, wait till you’re building games! The Game Design Track transforms you from a gamer to a game developer, unlocking the mysteries behind level design, UIs, score systems, character animation, power-ups, and so much more. You’ll come through each project with a finished game that you can share with your friends!
Arts
Games wouldn’t look like much without artists! Whether you’re into 2D, 3D, digital, or traditional, game development needs you. Get the skills to unleash your creative power that will bring the next generation of games to life.
Robotics
Do you dream of building and programming your own robot to do cool stuff? You can! A roboticist knows all about electricity, wiring, circuits, code, engines, and more. Get the tools and the skills you need to take on the world of robotics!
Coding
It’s a superpower! Get ready to have your mind blown as you make apps, games, websites, and Minecraft and Roblox mods. You can even discover how good hackers keep cyberspace safe, and crack the secrets of computers’ digital language. Train yourself to wield the power of code!
What Kids Will Achieve
Our curriculum is project-based, allowing students to continually produce new games, mods, programs, animations, character models, robots, or designs. We support students in creating portfolios of published work that they can then present to colleges, internships, or employers, setting them apart from their peers.
Project Focused
Regardless of track, our curriculum in Live 1:1 is focused on projects. Whatever your passion, whether it’s robotics, circuitry, game design, or coding, we’ll find a project that excites you and grows your skills. With our flexible, project-based curriculum, students can start almost anywhere and learn everything necessary to challenge themselves while creating amazing results.
Result Focused
Every project builds towards sharing its result. Students as young as six learn to build real applications in age-appropriate tools. Whether the project is in Construct3 or pro-grade Unity and Unreal game engines, they’ll be able to publish and share their work through itch.io or browser-playable links from Repl.It and Scratch. Art students also share their 2D and 3D work online on platforms like Deviant Art and Sketchfab.
Portfolio Focused
Portfolios matter. Students love to look back and see how they’ve grown. For parents, employers, and educators, portfolios illustrate a student’s capabilities and the level of experience they’ve attained. Far from an unknown quantity, the student has a proven record, and it’s easy to see what they’ve mastered and what special flair they are expressing.

Matthew loves working one on one with his instructor, Rob. He benefits so much from the personal attention and feels comfortable asking questions. I can see him growing as he does something he loves. He can’t wait for his next sessions!
I love my 1:1 with Courtney! We can spend our time focusing on just me and my project and what I am most interested in doing. I have learned so much! I can ask all the questions I need and want – big, small or weird. I am only 8 after all, but I know so much already.
