This engaging and flexible programme introduces learners to the fundamentals of game design, offering a cross-curricular approach that supports skills in English, ICT, Art & Design, and Media Studies.
Through a structured exploration of storytelling, characterisation, and digital creativity, learners build confidence in expressing ideas while developing transferable skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking. This course not only supports digital and creative literacy but also aligns with Gatsby Benchmark 4 (Linking curriculum learning to careers), offering insight into roles within the games industry and wider creative sectors. The programme encourages independent thinking and creativity across KS4/5 and is easily integrated into digital media, enrichment, or project-based learning.
