Just a quick preview of something similar to what we will be developing at the camp.

SpugNuckets! A small, fictional,text-based, puzzle game set on a distant manufacturing planet in the Typhon Galaxy, where you play as a Spug worker. You must explore your destroyed factoring in search of parts to repair Nuckets, which are the life support nodes that monitor the factories many rooms. If a room becomes uninhabitable, due to a Nucket being damaged, it will lock the room down.

NOTE: This is missing the graphical elements that will be implemented in games from the academy. This was also developed in less than 14 hours total.

I'd be happy to help, but please explain exactly to which site? And any preference as to what kind of games?
