Melissa Phillips of the BAFTA team said, "If you're 10-18 years old, BAFTA's Young Game Designers opens a world of creative opportunities. When we heard about the Relaxed Opening sessions at The National Museum of Computing, we immediately agreed to come. It should be a very special day for some very special youngsters."
