MASTERS IN GAMES
The secrets of the game designer
Workshop organized by studiogiochi in collaboration with Rete Biblioteche Venezia
Rete Biblioteche Venezia, as part of the Youth Policy Intervention Plans supported by Regione Veneto, titled Giovani e Generattività. Protagonisti del presente, creatori di futuro, organizes, in collaboration with studiogiochi, a workshop dedicated to game design.
The project will consist of a series of sessions, to be held from January to September 2024 at the Carpenedo Bissuola Library, and will be divided into two parts:
1) from the game to the idea
2) from the idea to your game
The meetings are free of charge and aimed primarily at young people aged 14 and older. Participants will have the opportunity to discover the mechanisms underlying board games and the cultural aspects of the game itself. The goal of the project is to propose the game not only as an opportunity for socialization, but also in its cultural aspects and as a professional opportunity, the end result of which will be the design and implementation of a prototype of a new board game, which will be tested and proposed as a candidate for Premio Archimede.
Presentation
Saturday, January 2024, 5 pm at Carpendo Bissuola Library.
