Become a creative expert and create the next Mario, Pokémon, or Star Wars. Your imagination is the only limit. Imagine your child designing their own characters, worlds, and stories, then watching them come to life as videos, 3D animated models, and a published game.
At Overture, students start with paper and pencil, then work with instructors to bring their ideas to life using technology in a guided, responsible way. This is our flagship intro program, a first step that blends video game design, movie making, and 3D animation into one hands-on experience while building creativity, critical thinking, and a safe, healthy understanding of how AI works.
This program was founded by Northwestern University alumni Aspen and Steven, featured in Forbes 30 Under 30 and Entrepreneur Magazine, and is led by certified instructors. By the end, students will have built a portfolio of videos, 3D animated models, and a published video game they are proud to share.
