EuroSkills 2021

EuroSkills 2021

EuroSkills ist die Europameisterschaft der Berufe. An 3 Wettbewerbstagen messen sich rund 400 junge, talentierte Fachkräfte in 45 Berufen und stellen ihre Fähigkeiten unter Beweis. Heuer hat der Berufswettbewerb in Graz stattgefunden. Tausende BesucherInnen haben die Wettkämpfe mit Spannung verfolgt und durften auch selbst verschiedenste Berufe genauer kennenlernen. Denn nicht nur die Europameister standen im Rampenlicht!

Bei der EuroSkills Berufsmesse gab es Einblicke in verschiedenste Berufswelten. Im Rahmen des „Try a Skill“ Programms wurde Jugendlichen und Interessierten ein praxisnaher Einblick geboten. Die GameDevStudents Graz haben in Kooperation mit GameDevGraz und der Wirtschaftskammer Steiermark ein Game entwickelt, das vor Ort erweitert und modifiziert werden konnte.

MaturantInnen, BerufsschülerInnen, LehrerInnen und Eltern konnten so in die Welt der Spieleentwicklung eintauchen, und in einer hands-on Erfahrung erkunden wie Games funktionieren. BesucherInnen durften auch selbst experimentieren und erste Schritte im Leveldesign machen. Dadurch konnten wir Interesse an Game Development wecken, und aufzeigen wie vielfältig technische Studiengänge und Berufe sein können.

Global Game Jam 2020 #GGJ20

Global Game Jam 2020

This past weekend the Global Game Jam 2020 took place at the Graz University of Technology. An event where people from around the world get together to develop new Games. This year’s topic was “Repair”.

With 50 participants, the jam site in Graz was the largest of Austria.

Five of our members, Sandra, Anton, Thomas, Christian and Johannes participated in the event and in the end we created three fully fledged games in just 48 hours.

Thomas, Johannes and Sandra decided to use the latest technology virtual reality (VR) for their project. Finally, they submitted the game “WeaponRepair”: https://globalgamejam.org/2020/games/weapon-repair-4
