Nintendo teaches kids video game level design with Super Mario Maker

Yesterday, Nintendo held a special event for kids at the San Francisco Public Library to teach kids about the basics of video game design. Special workshops were hosted by Nintendo game experts in which they were introduced to level design using Super Mario Maker.

According to the company, “Kids were split into groups and given hands-on time with the game and shown the ins and outs of video game level design”. They were also “encouraged to work together to design their own courses in the game, producing some remarkably creative results.”

Super Mario Maker players can play through one of the created levels by entering the following code in the game’s Course World: E02B-0000-020F-B9DA. It can also be found by visiting the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site.
