Game Design with Bitsy – Wemindji Youth Centre

  • Location: Online
  • Date: March 25th, 2021
  • Duration: 2.5 hours
  • Instructors: Kahentawaks Tiewishaw, Nafisa Sarwath

Overview: For our final session with participants from Wemindji, instructor Kahentawaks Tiewishaw led an introduction to Bitsy, the free pixel art game maker. Participants were taught how to use this tool in order to create their own avatars, sprites, items, and tiles. These elements were then combined to create their own unique Bitsy games, which are playable in any web browser. Special thanks to Nafisa Sarwath for organising this collaboration, and to the youth who participated!
