Games Development
The Games Development Academy is a unique free training programme for young people aged 16-19 with an interest in Gaming and Games Design.
About this Course
If you are interested in Coding, Art, Animation, Storytelling, or simply Game Design you may already have a skillset that can be effectively applied in the Game Industry.
Under the mentorship of Professionals working in the local industry you will have an opportunity to see how games are developed in the real world and team up with other young people to work together to design, code and develop your own games.
What You'll Learn
Over 12 weeks of delivery, with a mixture of Online and In Person engagements, the Academy will introduce you to the various diverse skills and roles played by different professionals within the Games Development process - taking an idea from initial Game Concept, through iterative development, to the finished playable product.
At the end of this course, you will have an opportunity to visit a working Games Development Studio in Northern Ireland to see first-hand how each of the disciplines work together within the Industry.
