Exciting Opportunity for Young Gamers in Newham

Newham Data and London Design and Engineering UTC are launching an amazing gaming programme for young people, aged 16+.

The project is designed to introduce young people to the fundamentals of game development using Intel and Epic Games technology (the makers of Call of Duty and Fortnite!).

Participants will explore designing and building a basic platform game level, and pitching a simple game level premise.

By the end of the four sessions, learners will have a basic game level ready to showcase and will have the opportunity to pitch this at the South by Southwest festival in June and win a prize!

This is a really exciting opportunity to work with experts in game design and to attend and present at the very exclusive South by Southwest festival!

Spaces are limited!

The sessions will be held at the London Design and Engineering UTC, E16 2RD.
