FAQ for Students and Parents

What software will I need for this workshop?

What software will I need for this workshop?

Can I use a Chromebook or a tablet?
No. The workshop requires a Windows, macOS, or Linux computer. Chromebooks and tablets do not support the required software.

Do I need prior coding experience?

Basic coding knowledge is helpful, but not mandatory. If you’ve written code before, you will have no problem at all being able to follow along. If you have not, as long as you can follow the step-by-step coding instructions, you should do just fine.

How do I install the Godot Engine?

We will provide step-by-step instructions before the workshop, but here’s a quick guide:

  • Download the latest stable version from https://godotengine.org/.
  • Extract and run the program (no installation required).

Will I be able to publish my game?

Yes! By the end of the workshop, you will have a fully functional game. This game can be published on web to be shared with others.

Do I need a powerful computer?

No, Godot is lightweight and runs well on most computers. However, we recommend at least:

  • Windows: Windows 10+ (64-bit recommended)
  • Mac: macOS 10.12+

What’s the difficulty level of this workshop?

This workshop is ideal for students who are eager to learn coding and game development. No prior experience with game development or the software are needed, as we provide clear, step-by-step instructions. However, students should have basic computer skills, such as downloading files and running programs on their operating system. If a student is unfamiliar with these tasks, we recommend parental assistance or exploring our other beginner-friendly workshops.
