Brains Eden
Event date: 5 July 2010, 18:00 - 20:00
Exhibition dates: 5-9 July 2010
Games Eden has organised an exhibition of student work and a series of talks designed to bring the Education and Developer communities closer together. How we can improve the symbiosis between the Games Industry and Education/Training institutions?
Games companies, education/training providers and former Games students will give short presentations and discuss new ways to supply the right kind of talent at the right time. The event will give all a chance to meet up and talk about issues such as:
How might the Industry help regional games education?
How might Education tap into industry expertise better?
What new tactics could be put in place for improving talent?
How might Industry and Education address skills shortages?
The Brains Eden seminar will look at best practice and the barriers that stop Games Developers, Tutors and
Students getting together more. Also, there will be a chance to see the Brains Eden exhibition afterwards (see below).

Games Jam
Teams of talented students from universities across the region have been given 24 hours to design and develop their own game, using Unity Games Development Software. Teams will be multi-disciplinary, covering all areas of gaming including design, engineering and audio. The completed games will be exhibited at the end of the seminar.
The Brains Eden exhibition
The exhibition will feature a mix of work from Games Jam and other relevant courses across the region, with
work from leading developers also included. The exhibition will be available to view directly after the seminar
over a networking drinks reception.
A careers workshop will also be run as part of the exhibition, offering students on Games courses the opportunity to talk with industry professionals and get advice on building a CV and graduate career paths into the games industry.
