The business will offers classes from beginner to expert in video game design.
“Creating video games has been a hobby of mine for quite a while so actually teaching kids how to do it that's something that sounded really fun,” Binkard said, “I thought to myself 'Man, I wish I could do this all year' and then I thought, 'why can't I do it all year?'"
The first session for the classes is on September 12.
