Gig: Python Game Development
UNC Charlotte Gig Training Program
Campus Internship
Closes on Wednesday, November 18, 2026
Job Description
We’re a Charlotte based nonprofit on a mission to ignite a love for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) among K-12 students through hands-on experiences and real-world problem-solving. https://makermindz.org/
The Project
We are seeking a Computer Science undergraduate to build the second phase (Levels 6-10) of "Logic Leak," a 2D educational game. The project aims to teach K-12 students intermediate Python programming concepts through interactive puzzles built in the Unity engine.
Building upon the core UI system and C# "Pseudo-Interpreter" developed in Phase 1 by a fellow UNCC student under Fall 2026 Gig Program, you will expand the game by creating 5 new "terminal-style" levels. The core challenge is extending the UI and validation engine to handle functions, loops, dictionaries, and list comprehension using free UI and Cyberpunk-themed asset packs.
Engine: Unity 2D.
Target Audience: K-12 students learning Python.
Key Concepts: Functions (def), while Loops, Dictionaries (dict), List Comprehension, and Refactoring/Boss Debugging.
Learning Experience
- A completed, published-ready project expansion for your portfolio.
- Experience in Educational Software Design (EdTech) and curriculum scaling.
- Practical experience extending existing codebases and working with third-party SDKs
- Demonstrated ability to manage a remote, short-term technical project.
Outcomes
Product: Functional Unity project expansion + WebGL/iOS/Android builds with 10 total playable levels.
Handoff: Clean GitHub repository with an updated, professional README.md and Asset Attribution list.
Educational: Accurate Python syntax for intermediate concepts with "hint" feedback for K-12 students.
