Yes, DS does really like the game design software they used. He went online and got the free trial installed on our computer when we got back and has been working on stuff at home. You may want your child to try it out before you buy. I think the counselors helped with various suggestions and coaching, which I am sure was helpful since I'm useless at those things. But honestly I think a bright kid with parents who had a passing knowledge of computers probably would do fine without the counselors.
