On Thursday 4th June, the TeenTech festival comes to Manchester Met. As part of their Insight Activities, centre members Jenny Cromwell and Matteo Polato will be running sessions on making small video games in 15 minutes using the online game design tool Bitsy. The activity will show that you don’t need to know how to code to be able to tell stories in digital game formats, although the more coding you know, the more complex the games can be!

Sessions are really quick, with four groups of 5 year 9/10 students per hour, and three one-hour sessions in the day. The mini activity is designed to have a small game made and playable within the 15 minutes!
