Fun Space | School Holiday and Event Program — Video Game Design

My son attended the Fun Space Video Game Design program in Sydney over the holidays, and overall it was a solid experience. The staff, particularly an instructor named Jess, were very engaged and made the learning process fun. My son loved working on his own game concept, where he designed a platformer with his favorite superhero. The small group size really allowed for personal attention, which was great for his creativity. One thing to note is that the pickup process was a bit chaotic the first day, as there were long lines, but it seemed to improve as the week went on. My son, who is quite creative, came away feeling inspired and excited about the world of game design. I would recommend this program, but just be prepared for some initial disorganization at drop-off and pickup.

I recently enrolled my 9-year-old in the Fun Space Video Game Design program in Sydney, and overall, it was a good experience. The staff, particularly an instructor named Jamie, was really engaged and made learning about game mechanics enjoyable. My child got to design a simple platformer game, which they were excited to show me afterward. The small group size allowed for more personal attention, which I appreciated. However, I did notice that the kids spent a lot of time in front of screens. This could be a concern for parents wanting to limit screen time, but for us, it was fine since they were working creatively. Pickup was smooth, which is always a plus. I would recommend this program for kids who are creative and interested in technology, but just be prepared for some screen-heavy activities.
