Wildlife Game Jam, 11+

Create fun and interactive video games inspired by the stories, animals and landscape of Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve.

Begin the day learning about the animals and environments of Fingringhoe Wick, and then make awesome 2D games using Scratch or Construct 3 based on what you’ve just learnt. Design, prototype and play test your very own 2D game all in a day, under the expert guidance of our game design tutors.

PLEASE NOTE: This workshop takes place at Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve. Signals will be taking participants in a taxi from our studio in central colchester at 9.30am, therefore you should be at Signals for this time. If you are not able to get to Signals for 9.30am the transport may leave without you. The workshops finish at 3pm and a taxi will bring participants back to Signals for around 3.30pm. Please tick the box on the booking form if you want to travel with us.

Over the next 12 months we’ll be running a variety of workshops for young people aged 11-25 at Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve, exploring some of the stories from the nature reserve through photography, filmmaking, video games and more. Thanks to funding from Heritage Lottery Fund its all FREE!
