Watch Recording“Over 2,000 young builders have shipped their first project with WizCamp.”
What you'll build
Neon Dodge
A fast-paced arcade dodger built with JavaScript and a sprinkle of AI-generated art.
Campers finish with a shareable link they can send to friends and family the same night.
Neon Dodge is a fast-paced arcade game where campers pilot a glowing ship through waves of incoming obstacles. Over the course of the session, students go from a blank file to a playable game they can share the same night.
What students build
- A game loop that keeps the action running smoothly frame by frame
- Collision detection, sprite animation, and responsive keyboard controls
- A scorekeeping system, AI-generated art, and a deploy to a live URL
Why it matters
Shipping something real changes how kids see themselves. Campers test, break, and fix their own code, learning that iteration is part of the craft rather than a sign of failure. By the end, they have a link to send to friends and family, and the creative confidence that comes with it.

James Colestock is the founder and camp director of WizCamp, where he helps kids and teens turn curiosity about technology into real, working projects. Over the past two decades he has taught thousands of students to code, build games, and design with AI, always starting from the same idea: learning sticks when it feels like play.
