EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS

We work with partners including BAFTA, Women in Games, NextGen Skills Academy, Into Games, Pixelles, Ukie, Digital Schoolhouse, the East London Academy of Music and Arts (ELAM) and Teesside University to encourage more people from diverse backgrounds to consider a career in games.

In 2021 we donated over £30k to support disadvantaged students with technology to assist their studies during COVID-19, and launched the CA Scholarship Programme with Teesside University, to support disadvantaged and underrepresented students to study Game Design.

We hold key relationships with high performing universities and colleges including ELAM, Abertay, Bournemouth, Goldsmiths, Newcastle, Teesside, Staffordshire and Escape Studios.

We are actively working with bodies to improve UK education and teaching capabilities via The Careers and Enterprise Company, National Computer Centre of Excellence (NCCE) and the British Computer Society (BCS).

We have partnered with Into Games to deliver parents events and address misconceptions in 2022 and beyond.
