THERE are a whole host of virtual events taking place next week for children to enjoy during half-term on lockdown. Youngsters can explore the city and its museums virtually and there are a number of online Yorkshire Games Festival events taking place. As well as online events, there is of course local parks, stunning Bradford countryside and a wide range of fun physical activities families can do at home to have fun and pass the time during the holiday. The Yorkshire Games Festival, hosted by the National Science and Media Museum, is running a handful of online events next week during half-term.
Yooka-Laylee, will also be bringing back their
Virtual Usability Lab, but this time beaming directly to festivalgoers at home. Games usability combines psychology, sociology, and videogames to help make fun accessible, and connects developers to gamers by allowing them to do what they do best – game!
By working with Team17 to help test new games in development, attendees will not only be providing valuable feedback to make games better for users, but it will be real-life experience to add to their CV. There are several time slots with limited space available on Friday 5 February, and those wishing to attend can sign up online now.
