PACT HOLDS BOOTCAMP IN DIGITAL GAMES, CONSOLIDATING ALENTEJO’S ROLE IN THE REGIONAL EGAMES CLUSTER
27 December 2023
From the 18th to the 22nd of December, PACT promoted the 7th edition of the Bootcamp, this time focused on Game Development.
For 1 week, among young people from secondary and higher education, there were 14 participants that PATC welcomed, within the scope of this initiative.
Participants in this edition of the Bootcamp had the opportunity to learn about the key points of digital game development, namely: blueprint programming bases; materials and textures, meshes, lights and widgets; character animation; game design and storytelling; and code analysis of existing projects. In the end, it was proposed to each one to put into practice all the knowledge learned, developing a mini-game, from scratch, an objective that was successfully achieved and showed everyone’s commitment.
This activity, which is an opportunity to bring young people closer to this area of the labor market through specialized training, is part of PACT’s commitment to promoting the videogame cluster at a regional level, a commitment assumed as a member of the eGames Lab consortium, thus consolidating the contribution of Alentejo in this purpose.
The Bootcamp was trained by Assembly and was carried out within the scope of the eGames Lab project, which is supported by the RRP – Recovery and Resilience Plan, and by the European Next Generation EU Funds.
