Blast off on an extraordinary journey this summer with 'Out of this World' - your gateway to the cosmos of game design! Inspired by the legendary British astronomer George Alcock, who discovered five comets and five novae with just his eyes and a pair of binoculars, we invite intrepid explorers aged 7-14 to become pioneers of their own virtual universe.At the heart of this enchanting experience lies a unique starting point. Picture this: a flurry of dice cascading through the air, each landing leaving its mark. The whimsical shapes they create become the foundation for the majestic planet or kingdom waiting to be brought to life.
As the young visionaries delve deeper into their designs, they learn valuable skills in problem-solving, teamwork, and critical thinking. Guided by experienced mentors, they unlock the secrets of world-building, discovering how to bring harmony to their realms while embracing the quirks that make each land truly unique.
Your adventure begins with a fully interactive 'worldbuilding' workshop.
Just as Alcock scanned the night skies, charting undiscovered celestial wonders, you'll map out and bring to life your very own planet, continent or kingdom. Will it host otherworldly creatures akin to the comets Alcock discovered, or be a realm of magical intrigue, as fascinating as the novae he charted?
'Out of this World' is more than a Summer programme - it's your chance to follow in the footsteps of one of the greatest astronomers, crafting your own discoveries and achievements. So strap in, future game designers, writers, artists and cosplayers, it's time to launch your universe and write your own history among the stars!
