Could you develop the next Grand Theft Auto? If you dream of a career in games development, this workshop - run by the renowned games design competition, Dare to be Digital - is the one for you. With presentations from industry professionals see behind the scenes of how a video game is created, what technology is involved and what the different development roles are.

This fantastic 2-day workshop plus BAFTA Young Game Designers session will allow you to gain first-hand experience of video games creation and learn skills that are key to success in the video games industry.
