“Going on the EGX trip was an amazing way to end the half term! EGX provided insightful and entertaining
experiences to us and it was a great way to introduce ourselves to the world of video games, throwing ourselves into this completly different side of media. As well as playing video games, such as “Mario Kart”, “Sonic’’, and many others, we also got to listen to influencers and game developers talk about their journey into the industry and their unique careers in media, which really gave us all a deeper look into the gaming industry, and inspired us to pay attention to the current events in gaming, and how they contribute to media as a whole. Additionally, walking around the convention whilst being surrounded by the target audience for these games was an eye opening experience, as we could see how passionate they were about the convention, the career talks, and especially the gaming. All in all, it was a very enjoyable experience that has taught us all a lot about gaming and for some has sparked an interest that they now would like to pursue and will prepare us greatly for when we come to study it.” - Yasemin W, Year 12 student
