Game Dev Workshop

​Join us for a free, hands-on Game Dev Workshop featuring speakers across the game development pipeline. From concept to code to community! Whether you're just getting started or looking to level up your skills, this workshop will offer valuable insights, tools, and inspiration.

​💡 Unreal Tips & Tricks Talk

​Kick off the day with practical insights into Unreal Engine from an experienced developer. Learn beginner to intermediate techniques, discover lesser-known features, and see how to harness Unreal Engine’s full potential to bring your game ideas to life.

​🎮 From Planning to Play

​Join a seasoned software engineer as they walk through the game dev journey—starting with practical planning tips, creative habits, and project structure, then diving into a hands-on 3D Unity mini-project. Learn what it takes to go from idea to interactive prototype, all while building a game about grabbing and scoring with physics-based gameplay.
