A summary

Ready to level up your creativity? Join our Gamers Club and create your very own game! No experience needed—we’ll guide you through character design, level building, storytelling, and basic game mechanics in a fun, hands-on environment. Bring your imagination, get creative, and let’s make a game together

Session 1 - 3D Game Design: Dive into building custom interiors, immersive landscapes, and general digital assets. You'll learn how to create a 3D scene, prepare textures, add lighting and position the camera ready to render it out as an image.

Session 2 - Game Development:
Take your newly created 3D assets (or download existing ones) and import them into a game engine where you can add real functionality. Whether you want a character that leaps over buildings or a peaceful walk through a tranquil forest, it's entirely up to you.

Session 3 - CAD Design:

Ready to get more technical? This workshop explores technical 3D CAD workflows, giving you the tools to design your own products that can then be used in a 3D printer. Useful for those interested in prototyping!

When you arrive...

When you arrive at the Herbert Art Gallery, please make your way to the main reception area, coming through the entrance on Bayley Lane.

You will see a member of our staff, wearing a purple or grey CV Life uniform. This person works in the ticket and shop area of the museum.

Let them know that you are here to attend the HAF programme and they will direct you to our Learning and Engagement Team, who will check you against the register and lead you to the workshop area.

Parent's are not required to stay, but they are welcome should the young person need their support.

Snacks and drinks are available during the day, but we do recommend bringing your own bottle of water with you too. Lunch will be served in the museum café, where you can enjoy the social environment of the museum. When you arrive in the morning, you will have a menu with three hot meal options to choose from.

For any young people arriving independently, we request that parents/carers alert us to this in advance, and also make us aware if your child is travelling home independently at the end of the day.
