Questions Parents Ask
Game Development: Your Questions Answered
What is Game Development at Pollen Education?
Game Development is a live, 1:1 online Technology & Computing course for students in grades 4-10. Design game worlds, mechanics, characters, and playable experiences.
What age or grade is Game Development for?
Game Development is for students in grades 4-10. Within the course, each child is placed by what they already know rather than by grade alone, so they are never rushed ahead or held back.
Does my child need any experience before starting Game Development?
Game Development is pitched at an intermediate level, but beginners are welcome. Children start at the module that fits what they already know, and the free demo class is a good way to find the right starting point.
What will my child learn in Game Development?
Your child will build skills in 2D & 3D Game Mechanics, Physics Engines & Collisions, Level Architecture & UX Design, Audio, Sprites & Asset Pipelines and Publishing & Playtesting. Along the way they work with Player controls, Physics & collisions, Level design, Sprites & audio and Playtesting.
What will my child create in Game Development?
Every class is project-based, so children make real things: games, levels and game mechanics. The course includes the Game Development Studio and Advanced Game Creator Lab tracks.
How many classes does Game Development have?
Game Development is offered in plans of 30 classes (Bud, valid for 7 months), 60 classes (Bloom, valid for 2 years), 90 classes (Blossom, valid for 3 years) and 150 classes (Pollen Master, valid for 3 years). Every plan includes live 1:1 sessions and a personal mentor, and the price depends on the plan you choose and your region.
How is Game Development different from Scratch Programming?
Game Development (Grades 4-10): Design game worlds, mechanics, characters, and playable experiences. It uses Player controls, Physics & collisions and Level design. Scratch Programming (Grades 1-5): Make stories, animations, and games while learning logic. It uses Scratch blocks, Loops & conditions and Variables. Not sure which fits? A free demo class helps you decide.
How are Game Development classes taught?
Classes are live and online, 1:1 with a dedicated mentor. Courses are interactive rather than a textbook-style syllabus, and are designed by professional teachers with more than 5 years of experience in the same field.
Can we try a class before enrolling?

Ready to get started with Game Development?
In a 45-minute 1:1 trial, your child looks at how a game's rules and controls work and starts shaping a simple idea of their own with the mentor. Designing a game means thinking about the player, testing, and fixing what does not feel right.
