Game design with Mill Dam Primary School
Our mission at Hex Studio is to make the world a better designed place, so having the opportunity to work with young people and discuss how to create design that works was as exciting for us as it was the pupils at Mill Dam school.
In Moon Mission, we worked with the year 3 – 6 classes on the challenge of how to design and create a game, culminating in our team then developing the final idea into a working game on the app store.
Working with the students in groups, we hosted a design workshop in which each student was tasked with coming up with an idea for a mobile game. The most popular idea was a space-based game where users have to defuse a bomb planted on a distant moon.
The process of designing and developing an app was a huge hit with the pupils of Mill Dam School, with some stating that it would be a career path they’d like to pursue.
