School Holiday Workshop | Video Game Design & Game Ideation

All video games start with game design.

In this one-day workshop for teens aged 14—18, students will be introduced to the role of a Video Game Designer. They'll break down the design process, explore different game genres and systems, learn how to create a game design document, and work in teams to develop a game pitch. The workshop also includes an introduction to Unity through the Unity Essentials pathways—equipping students with the foundational tools to begin learning a game engine. Please note: this is not a coding workshop!

Age Group: 14–18 years Experience Level: No prior experience required. This workshop is ideal for creative teens with an interest in games, storytelling, or design. What to Bring: Lunch, water bottle. Laptops will be provided, thanks to Metabox.
