The Games Design Saturday Club at Hopwood Hall College in Rochdale gives members the opportunity to attend free Saturday morning classes in their local area. Our aim is to nurture the young people’s talent, build their confidence and give them the opportunity to learn all about the E-sports & Games industry and the use of digital technology.

Through hands-on sessions guided by industry professionals, Club members will develop technical and practical skills essential for the sector. From shoutcasting and streaming to 3D modelling, texturing, and 3D printing, participants will work with software like Blender, Substance Painter, and OBS to understand key tools and workflows.

Creativity in Rochdale has no boundaries! The Club provides a space for creative exploration, encouraging self-expression and innovation. Members will gain insight into one of the fastest-growing industries globally, preparing them to consider careers in Games and E-sports. Explore 3D modelling software and workflows in prop and asset modelling, establish your own stream and develop your shoutcasting skills, preparing you to pursue a future career.

Club members also take part in national events including Masterclasses with leading industry professionals and the Summer Show, where Saturday Clubs nationwide exhibit their work in a public exhibition – all for free!

This Saturday Club runs with the support of the BFI awarding National Lottery funding.
