Tinderbox Games Club
🕹️🕹️🕹️
On Saturday mornings, we get together in-person and online to hang out, play games, and make our own, supported by a team of creative tutors & game designers.
Together we play, research and make games, as well as design our own artwork, audio & code needed for them! We use different forms of technology to make games, but we also use traditional methods such as hand-drawn art, board game making, clay-sculpting, crafting with recycled objects, and more. Along the way we may also explore other types of creative technology such as virtual reality (VR), electronics & circuit-building, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and 3D printing!
Everyone is welcome to get involved, and no game design or programming experience is necessary. You can join us whether you are brand new to gaming or if you play & make your own games already!
Check out the information below to register for a place and we’ll be in touch with more information about joining sessions. Feel free to get in touch with us at lab@tinderboxcollective.org with any questions.
This weekly club is for young people aged 10-16.
