Student gamers star at the Big Weekend

Student gamers from Cambridge Regional College took a starring role in the city’s Big Weekend activities – attracting crowds of people to their Games Hub.

Sponsored by ARM, the games hub gave visitors the chance to play the students’ games and find out more about creating and designing a computer game from scratch.

The college has built up an international reputation for its games development courses and its student-run Rizing Games enterprise which markets the students’ games.

It is also the only FE college in the country to exhibit at top expo E3 in Los Angeles, and students showcased the games they had created for this year’s event at the Games Hub.

The Big Weekend attracted thousands of people to Parker’s Piece over three days of music, markets and entertainment. The annual festival is a highlight of the summer in Cambridge.
