We’re always looking for enriching industry engagement opportunities for our students. With this in mind, in the last few weeks of the academic year we invited Jupiter Hadley and Dann Sullivan to work with 11 students at The Studio Liverpool and Big Creative Education on a bootcamp all about games journalism! Over the course of four weeks, students learnt all about the world of writing about games, what tools they'll need, and had an article they've written published to Big Boss Battle under their own author pages. Jupiter said of the bootcamp: "It was such an amazing experience to see each of the students dive into new games, learn about article types, and draft up their own reviews, previews, and guides! They are all ready to start pitching to other publications and get their writing out there." Thank you to Jupiter and Dann for this fantastic opportunity, it allowed students to apply the wealth of skills they've acquired throughout their time at college, and the chance to explore a potential career path they may not have considered before. The skills, experience and confidence developed through this bootcamp will help students to thrive in the future. Congratulations to Abby Galloway, Benjamin Caslin, Emilia Biedrowska, Harry Morrison, Joshua Clements, Reggie Ball, Ron Al Saleh Shakiroff, Seamus Parkinson, and Szymon Mochort for your first published works!
