Q. I have a kid in my neighborhood who has an interest in game design and computer modeling. I was wondering what languages are most frequently used in making computer/video games.
Well, I was looking to put together a computer for the kid, so that he could learn. And knowing what programming languages games are made in will help to make sure he gets what he needs in order to experiment with it.
He's not that young, I'd say Junior High.

A. Well finally a question that is right up my alley as a Systems Engineer, and high level programmer... :)
The main language used in programming games is Microsoft Visual Studios C++. This allows code compilation , debugging and is a processor based language.(In other words the CPU in your computer uses it also so it runs really really fast when you do too)
However, there is a great need to know a few other languages as well as this one so parts of games written in C++ call subroutines that are written in Microsoft's Visual Basic.
If you are going to have 3D graphics in your game...a must these days then for the scenes and graphic rendering we use MAYA, also called MEL (Maya Extended 3DScripting Language)..
Last but not least...if your game will allow Internet play it has to use Sun's JAVA scripts. Which also allows character movement based on user feedback, Improves graphic speed by using the host computers CPU instead of the internet servers ...in the case of a game like HALO...internet play...
Last but not least, you would / should know a bit about screen/monitor basics ...so you can fit your games to various pixel resolutions so they will run on any ones computer...and so you can call test routines from the monitor to set up your game on a particular monitor....without having to have the user reset their monitor resolution so that they can play the game....
Hope this helps....

What are some activities for school age children?
Q. I run an afterschool/summer program. The school age kids always say they're bored, however all they want to do is look at a screen--tv, computer, video game,etc. I need easy fun ideas we can do to keep them entertained.
A. How about looking into (academic) contests they can enter?
Make a fun (even music) video and post it on youTube?
Start a newspaper (see link)?
Play some games of jeopardy (see link)?
Talent show?
Community service? Find a cause that you and your students can help out with... care packages to soldiers perhaps?
Scavenger hunt?
International food day - have each kid bring in an international food and "pig out."
