• Develop and deliver engaging lessons in digital art and video game design tailored for children.

• Introduce children to safe, age-appropriate uses of design tools and platforms (e.g., Photoshop, Blender, Unity, or similar).
• Foster healthy digital habits, ensuring students understand balance, online safety, and positive screen use.
• Encourage teamwork, collaboration, and problem-solving through group projects and game design challenges.
