The digital academy is a collaborative effort between Microsoft Store, Microsoft Education, East London Arts and Music (ELAM), as well as the studio behind
Sea of Thieves – Rare.
The Xbox Academy will take place on the afternoon of Monday, May 10 during Microsoft’s Work Experience Week (May 10 – 13). In one of the sessions, representatives from Rare will discuss their roles at the company and explain the career path into production, design, engineering, and quality assurance jobs. ELAM will provide further information on getting into games development from an academic perspective.
