We are a college-preparatory level program offered in partnership with New Market Skills Center

We are a hands-on computer science program taught at an Advanced Placement (AP) level. In it, students create a series of video games that require them to integrate math concepts, language arts skills, and design/art theories and concepts. Successful students will not only gain experience applying mathematics and computer science to video game production, they will also develop strong problem-solving skills and get a competitive head start on their college peers.

In Night Terrors, players follow Tina, a stuffed triceratops, that was accidentally left behind in a spooky 1980s mall. She sets out to reunite with her young owner, but as night-time approaches, and the barricades of the mall come down, the toys of the mall come alive, scary and grotesque. As the monstrous toys try to capture Tina, she must survive, and fight her way out of their clutches until her young owner returns in the day.
