Game Builders Academy and Hofstra CE Offer Innovative and Fun Programs

Hofstra is proud to partner with Game Builders Academy (GBA) to offer year-round programs designed to get your child more excited about math, science and technology -- including classes and camp sessions in video game development, robotics, Minecraft, animation and other courses. Students apply and practice what they learn in school through the work they do in building video games, creating YouTube videos and other projects.

Yes, Video Games Can Improve Academic Performance

Research shows that engaging with video games can increase a student’s understanding of schoolwork. A recent paper, by researchers from Vanderbilt University in the Journal of Learning Sciences, shows that students who played games as part of their regular curriculum were more engaged in class work -- even boosting their test scores by about half a letter grade in three weeks when teachers used digital games as part of learning.

About Game Builders Academy (GBA)

GBA likes to say, “We don't teach video game development - we teach math, science, technology, critical thinking, problem solving and more, all through video game development.” GBA like Hofstra youth programs and summer camps want students to learn more than the course material itself. So GBA designs their programs to build academic skills, self-esteem, communication skills, teamwork, cooperation, focus and concentration skills -- with an injection of fun.
