eAssistant — Video Game Design

My son recently attended the eAssistant Video Game Design program in London, and overall, it was a solid experience. He is 9 years old and has a keen interest in gaming, so I thought this would be perfect for him. Each week, they worked on different aspects of game design. He particularly enjoyed creating his own character and coming up with a storyline. The instructor, Liam, was very engaging and had a way of communicating complex ideas that kept the kids interested. The group size was small, which allowed for personalized attention. However, I did notice that there was a bit too much screen time involved; I wish they had included more hands-on activities. The pickup process was straightforward, which I appreciated. Despite a few small issues, I would recommend this program for young aspiring game designers looking for a creative outlet.

My son, who is 12 and quite creative, recently participated in the eAssistant Video Game Design program in London. The instructors, particularly a guy named Jake, really seemed to engage with the kids, helping them bring their game ideas to life. My son loved creating a simple platform game, and I was impressed with how much he learned in just a few sessions. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which he appreciated. However, I did notice that pickup was a bit chaotic on the first day, with long lines as parents waited to collect their kids. It could use better organization there. Overall, I'd recommend this program for kids who are interested in game design, especially if they’re creative and focused thinkers.
