Description



Interested in how games are made or wondering if there’s a place for you in the world of game development? This beginner-friendly workshop introduces the tools, roles, and creative thinking that power game making.

You’ll get hands-on with visual coding using GDevelop, explore industry tools like Unity and Unreal, and build your first interactive scene—no coding experience required. Along the way, you’ll discover how gamemaking connects to real-world roles like UX design, interactive storytelling, and more.

This is Workshop #1 in a 3-part series on gamemaking and career pathways in tech.
