School Holiday Workshop | Video Game Design & Game Ideation

All video games start with game design.

In this one-day workshop, we introduce students to the role of a Video Game Designer. We will break down the design process, explore genres and systems of different games, explore the process of creating game design documents, and develop a game pitch as a part of a design group.

Please note: this is not a coding workshop.

After the workshop students and families are welcome to explore the rest of the museum at no extra charge.

Age Group: 12–16 years
Experience Level: No prior experience required. This workshop is ideal for creative kids with an interest in games, storytelling, or design.
What to Bring: Lunch, water bottle. Laptops will be provided, thanks to Metabox.
