Abstract
One of the most popular career choices among elementary school children is to become a video game creator. However, there are currently very few venues where children can actually gain the experience needed to achieve their dream job. So we created a hands-on learning software program that focuses on game design. This allowed children to create things such as stages, sound, particles and enemies--all on their own- -which enabled them to recognize the importance of each element in the creation process. This game design workshop was created for elementary school students and conducted at the Tokyo Game Show 2016.
