“I fully support Ada Scotland because it gives young women the opportunity to discover just how creative, innovative and exciting a career in games development can be. During the Build a Platformer workshop I ran last year, it was fantastic to see the passion, enthusiasm and confidence grow as the young women created their own assets, designed levels, wrote code, and brought their ideas to life through playtesting their games. Seeing that excitement firsthand reminded me of the important role events like this play in building confidence and encouraging young women to see themselves as future creators, designers and developers. I love supporting this event because increasing female representation in the games industry is vital to bringing diverse perspectives and ideas into the games we create, and events like Ada Scotland play an important role in empowering and inspiring the next generation of games developers.“
