03 / HOW WE LEARN

Less watching.
More making.

01

Choose a challenge

Start with a problem you are facing in a game or team, not a broad software syllabus.

02

Make the work

Build a level sequence, prototype, production brief, visual guide or live event plan.

03

Get useful feedback

Test your decisions, discuss tradeoffs and leave with a clearer next step.
