What is HATCHXR?
HATCHXR is a beginner-friendly 3D game design and virtual reality platform built specifically for kids. Unlike professional engines like Unity, HATCHXR is designed with a drag-and-drop interface, visual coding, and instant results — making it the perfect first step into the world of immersive tech.
In our HATCHXR VR Game Design Camp, kids ages 7–12 learn to create interactive 3D games and simulations that they can actually step into using a VR headset. It’s where coding meets creativity, and imagination becomes immersive.
+ VR
At Code-it Hacks summer camps, we introduce kids to coding in a fun and educational way. VR coding camps focus on teaching the fundamentals of game development, enabling young learners to design and build their games from scratch.
In our HATCHXR VR Game Design Camp, kids ages 7–12 learn to create interactive 3D games and simulations that they can actually step into using a VR headset.
Campers will:
-
Build interactive VR scenes using HATCHXR’s visual tools
-
Code characters, objects, and interactions using block-based logic
-
Explore the principles of 3D game design
-
Playtest and refine their projects in real VR environments
It’s where coding meets creativity, and imagination becomes immersive.
Why Kids Love HATCH XR (and Why That’s a Good Thing)
EXPRESS CREATIVITY
Kids design their own game world, objects, and characters
Tools to be creators, not just consumers
Playgrounds for creativity
& problem-solving
They use problem-solving and creativity at every step, balancing coding, logic, art, and design.
HATCHXR taps into what kids love most: creation, challenge, and adventure — on their terms.
SIMPLICITY in Complex Topics
No typing required — just logic, puzzles, and imagination.
Kids control how worlds are made, how stories unfold, and how players interact.
Kid Friendly Interface
HATCHXR is intuitive, colourful, and designed just for young minds.
They experience the instant thrill of bringing characters and ideas to life.
"HATCHXR turns game design and virtual reality into an intuitive playground for young creators."
Now imagine NOT just building a game — but stepping inside it.
The VR Magic
Centrepiece of our HATCHXR Summer Camps
HATCHXR + VR = A Whole New Level of Learning
Using HATCHXR’s built-in VR tools, campers explore how immersive experiences work from the inside out. They’ll create games where players:
-
Walk through fantasy environments
-
Interact with moving objects and characters
-
Solve challenges, puzzles, and missions in 360°
-
Control movement, gravity, and player perspective
Why Learning VR Through HATCHXR Matters in 2025?
The world is shifting from flat screens to immersive experiences — and kids are the next generation of creators.
Kids learn computational thinking, 3D design, and problem solving — all in one
Early exposure to tools like HATCHXR builds the foundational thinking kids need to succeed in more complex platforms later (like Unity, Roblox Studio, or Python).
