Game Jam 2024 - Webinar Series
Throughout the Game Jam 2024 we had the support of 7 amazing professionals with jobs in the tech industry, gaming or a deep understanding of UNCRC. Now that our series is over anyone can access the short 20 minute inputs from these professionals and explore just what their job entails as well as what it took for them to get there.
These videos are excellent for applying learning to the jobs industry and linking the skills we developed in the Game Jam to opportunities that may present themselves as a career in later life.
