+ Participants must be aged between 15 and 19 years old
+ The programme is run online with live meetings, so a good Internet connection and laptop with webcam is required
+ This is not a beginners course and requires basic level understanding of video game design principles, ideally through Construct 3
It is expected that participants will have a more fulfilling and rewarding experience than most traditional work experiences. A live boss acts as mentor to ensure your goals are achieved and that you develop a good range of industry skills. You will experience projects and tools that you might not otherwise encounter.
It is not necessary to prepare in advance, however, as noted above, some level of existing proficiency is required. For the Video Game Studio programme, our Video Game Design courses would be ideal.
Sean studies Design Engineering at Imperial College London but you'll often find him buzzing around camp teaching our Video Game Design courses. He loves seeing campers push through challenges and publish a game to show their friends and family.
