Education

Computer Science, but other than that, nothing particularly relevant to playing Magic: the Gathering. I could write a little poem here to fill up the characters instead.

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

in this class i will teach you how to make a character for videogame. you will be taught how to approach it by using software like zbrush, maya, substance painter, etc
we will start with discussing the concept and then proceed to sketching in zbrush, then we make the costume using Marvelous Designer and/or zbrush, at the same time we will create the gears and any accessories needed for the character, after that we go to maya for retopo, then toolbag for baking, sp for texturing and finally we render it in toolbag

We will cover:

- advanced modelling
- high resolution modeling/sculpting
- low resolution modeling (retopology)
- texturing
- materials
- lighting

Hello,

I am a big player of playing and collecting card games and have participated in several Magic the Gathering tournaments such as the Grand Prix Bruxelles 2006 and 2016.

I have played many card games in paper or online versions (Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon; Hearthstone; Magic the Gathering; Magic Arena; Keyforge; Warhammer 40000 Conquest; Malkyrs, the Arenas of Eternity; Wakfu; World of Warcraft TCG; Might and Magic: Duel of Champions; Gwent: the Witcher Card Game; Elements; SpellWeaver and many others).

I even started to create my own card games. I have a perfect command of the general rules of playing and collecting card games. I am able to quickly identify a meta, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each deck.

I can advise you in the management of your collection (purchase / resale / exchange / preservation) and especially in the creation of decks that are at the same time original, pleasant to play and formidable.

Finally, I have a master's degree in French and Romance Languages and Letters, and an AESS accreditation which gives me the ability to learn patiently and clearly to anyone wishing to enter the world of card games, or to improve their skills up to a high rank.

During my training, I learned to develop video games with Unity software. In the years that followed, I perfected my knowledge by participating in game jams and presenting my games at independent developer events. The most important thing I learned was how to find the information you need online. So I will teach you how to develop it yourself, without my help.

During this course you will learn to:
- Code in C# in Unity
- Create 2D game levels
- Create 2D sprites in the game and design tilemaps
- Create a game interface (menu, life points, credits etc...)
- Export your games to Android, iOs and desktop and WebGl to play in the browser

I will also support you in your gameplay ideas

Ever wondered how your favorite video games are built? The secret isn't just graphics—it's logic. This class is a fun, hands-on introduction to programming through the lens of game development.

Using C++, the industry-standard language for major gaming engines, we will build classic text-based and simple 2D games (like terminal banking apps, text adventures, or arcade mechanics). You'll learn how to manage player input, keep track of scores, create game loops, and handle collision logic. If you've always wanted to make your own games but didn't know where to start, this course will give you the foundational blueprint to bring your ideas to life.
