Ubisoft teaching students about a career in gamedev

“Learn. Play. Work” is a joint project of the IT Ukraine Association with the game development company Ubisoft Ukraine and the EdEra online education studio. For the project, we and our partners plan to develop an online course on the career potential of the gaming industry. Therefore, such lessons help to show children’s interest in knowledge about gameplay.

We are very inspired by the way the open lesson took place at the Novopecherska school. It is a pleasure to feel involved in such an important project and to have the opportunity to change the perceptions of students and teachers about the gaming industry and its prospects. We truly thank the teachers for conducting and adapting the lesson. We saw interest and lights in the eyes of students, which inspires us to move on and work on new lessons with the educational platform EdEra and IT Ukraine Association,

Now “Learn. Play. Work” is a pilot project that aims to tell children, parents, teachers and anyone interested in the gaming industry how to turn a passion for computer games into a successful career. And a large-scale online course for everyone will start very soon, so stay tuned!
