Gorton CenterDiscover music through video games!
Embark on a summer adventure with Overture Games! Kids dive into a STEAM-based musical world—discovering rhythms, composing tunes, and mastering musical skills through interactive game-based challenges. Best of all, it’s pure fun—making new friends, jamming together, and learning without even realizing it. Along the way, they pick up creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork skills in the most joyful, playful way. No music background is needed, because our professional musician mentors are ready to put on a show for the kids this summer!
