1. Who is eligible to apply for a free YGD School Resource pack?

The YGD Idea Generator card game is available to participating secondary schools across the UK. To be eligible for a free resource pack applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • is a non-fee paying secondary school based in the UK (or afterschool club) that covers students of a secondary education age
  • school must have over the national average (14%) of pupils receiving Free School Meals
  • intend to use the BAFTA YGD Resources as part of their lessons in Game Design

2. What will I receive in the pack?

Successful applicants will receive:

  • a free copy of our BAFTA YGD Idea Generator Card Game.
  • information on our YGD Worksheets
  • access to exclusive networking and outreach workshops across the UK

Teachers will also be invited to join our closed Facebook Group to connect with other secondary school teachers teaching game design and receive updates on BAFTA YGD Resources and Games News.

3. Will everyone who applies receive a pack?

Submitting an application does not guarantee a free school resource pack. All applications are reviewed individually and you may be contacted to confirm further details. 

All applications must meet the stated criteria. Packs are limited in number and we are restricted in regards to how many we can distribute.

4. I am not a secondary school teacher but I work closely with young people aged 10-18 and think the BAFTA YGD would be a fantastic activity to take part in, can I apply?

Educational mentors, Code Club leaders, STEM Ambassadors, care workers and any other individual who might be involved in teaching or mentoring young people aged 10-18  can register for consideration for one of our YGD Educator Packs by filling in this web form here.

Not just yet, although we are looking into this!
