PROTOGÉ x INFINITY27 Summer Camp
Summary...
Who, When & Where?
The camp will run in-person over two weeks between 8th and 19th August at PROTO, Gateshead and will consist of hands-on activities. The camp will be for ages 16+ with anybody under the age of 18 requiring parent/guardian permission form to be signed.What?
There will be three strands of hands-on activities - covering art, design and development - so something for everybody that is interested in a career in games, immersive and real-time 3D with Unreal Engine.Why?
The North East, in particular Gateshead, Newcastle and Middlesbrough, has become a hotspot for emerging technology businesses and home to many large and small development companies that are seriously needing new talent (experienced and newbies) to fill a variety of roles. PROTOGÉ and INFINITY27 have been working to bridge the skills and experience gap for these companies by providing placement opportunities in the region. We are the best positioned to give you the advice, guidance and experience that may help you get that career role you've been trying to get.
How to apply...
Spaces are limited so we'll be sending you a follow-up email in the coming weeks for you to apply for a micro-placement. For now, we would also ask that you familiarise yourself with Unreal Engine via the following free and open resources.
As a primer, completing the Introduction To Your First Hour In Unreal Engine 5 video tutorial series will highly benefit you and help to maximise your time with us. Therefore, completion of this will be a qualifying factor!
Furthermore, we'd like to tailor the experience of each micro-placement, so we have another suggestion for quickly identifying your area of interest. We ask that anybody who is interested in applying tries out each of the three strands on the links provided and decides which one suits them most before applying. This will be a question on the application and will help you understand what each role entails!
We're giving you some time to do this and so will be sending the application form out after the end of this month. Please make sure to share this opportunity with others who may be itching to get into games, immersive or real-time 3D and are lacking experience. Remember that this is not just another course and is for those seriously looking to get into the industry.
Here's those steps and links again...
Step 1: Complete the Your First Hour In Unreal Engine 5 video tutorial series (1-2 hours) - LINK
Step 2: Attempt each of the three QuickStart Guides... (2-3 hours total)
Step 3: Apply to be considered for a micro-placement using the Google Form.
