Everyone's a Gamer

Book Now

Australia’s game industry is booming, with $330M+ in revenue and 28% of studios in Victoria, now’s the time to design games that everyone can play.

Our industry partner GenU Gamer is helping young people boost their interpersonal skills, build friendships, and form meaningful relationships through play. Humans have been playing games for centuries, and for good reason. Games bring people together, spark connection, and create shared experiences. With GenU Gamer as a industry partner students will build on this tradition by using inclusive, accessible game design to foster community and creativity.

They’ll also explore cutting-edge technologies, including adaptive controllers and accessibility tools, to ensure everyone can play, regardless of physical ability while using industry standard game engines.
