14/04/2025 - Hurstville library

Ever wanted to make your own video game? Make a start these holidays in this program for 12-17 year olds! Participants will be introduced to the basics of Unreal Engine, a free platform that allows you to make games for computers, consoles like Playstation and Xbox, mobile phones, and even create content for Fortnite.

Learn visual scripting to build your own world, create moving characters, keep score of points, and more.
