Media Design School upcoming events

Media Design School upcoming events

October 27, 2021 Posted by Alastair Tod Uncategorized
Media Design School is pleased to advise you of two upcoming online events for you and your school community. The events are FREE and you can register by clicking on the links below.

Demystifying Career Pathways in Gaming
Wednesday 3 November, 5.00-6.00pm
REGISTER ON THIS LINK

Gaming is typically seen as the domain of the anti-social, the tech nerd, or the solitary individual who plays PUBG or Fortnite into the wee hours of the morning.  But the opportunities and realities for gamers and the gaming industry are much wider than these stereotypes. In fact, gaming concepts, tools and applications feature in virtually every industry.   In this Creative Tech Talk, we will showcase and share the stories of diverse guests have pursued gaming careers in very different ways. They will also share insights into the upcoming trends they foresee in this dynamic industry.

The event is suited to career advisors and teachers who wish to build their knowledge and insights of the gaming industry, parents and guardians who want to better understand the pathways that exist for their rangatahi, and to all who have a strong interest in computing and gaming and are curious about how you can have an incredible career in the gaming world.  All are welcome!

Guests include Niamh Fitzgerald – COO / Development Director / Designer from Dinosaur Polo Club, and Mark Southcombe – C++ Developer from inMusic Inc.  More to be confirmed!

Pursue an Awesome Career in Creative Tech! Māori and Pacific Students
Thursday 11 November 2.00-3.00pm
REGISTER ON THIS LINK

Love anime? Enjoy creating posters and logos? Make Tik Tok videos? Fan of video games? Curious about AI and VR? Dream of working at Weta?  If you answered YES to the above, then come to our virtual event and hear how you can turn your interests into an awesome career!

Māori and Pacific people are underrepresented in the Creative Tech Industries (only 2%), so there is a need for more talented young people to use your skills and cultural uniqueness to make a difference.

What to expect during the event:
·         Learn about different jobs in the creative tech industry (including game artist, graphic designer, animator)
·         Hear from Māori and Pacific students who are pursuing studies in creative tech
·         Gain tips for applying for creative tech programmes
·         Learn how we celebrate Māori and Pasifika culture at Media Design School
·         Oh, we may have a few prizes up for grabs too!
