This is not a coding course or a software class. It’s a five-day simulation of a real game development studio, where teenagers take on professional roles, work under real production deadlines, and ship a published, playable game by the end of the week.

The programme is built on the same model as MIT MISTI Global Teaching Labs and JASS 2026 — intensive, hands-on, and designed around real delivery rather than theory. It is approved and supported by CYGMA, the Cyprus Game Makers Association, and held at Cyprus University of Technology as the first industry-enhanced game development programme within the CUT Multimedia department.

WHAT STUDENTS DO
──────────────────────

Students join as a team with real studio roles — game designer, developer, artist, producer — and work through the full production pipeline from day one:

• Day 1: Game Design Document + team formation
• Day 2: Prototype built and playable
• Day 3: Full integration + cross-team playtest
• Day 4: Game shipped 
• Day 5: Public Demo Day with industry jury

Every student leaves with a game, a Game Design Document, real team production experience and a portfolio entry ready for university applications.
