Description:
In the UK, 88% of young adults play video games according to an Ofcom report. And you’ll undoubtedly have heard your pupils boasting about their latest missions, creations or online duels.

Wouldn’t it be great if they could star as the main character in their very own video game? With our Game Design Series, they can!

The session will take your pupils' passion for gaming and turn it into a useful exercise. Young people will learn about skills identification and development while finding out about possible future careers.

DYW Context:
The course will introduce various skills required to be a game designer, as well as give an overview of the job opportunities within the gaming industry in Scotland.

Additional Requirements:
The session is delivered virtually over Microsoft Teams. Each pupil will need access to a device connected to the internet. We will send a complete teacher's guide over upon booking confirmation.
