A guided pilot for young people aged 12 and above.
Confirmed for the pilot
Ages 12+
The first pilot is being shaped for young people aged 12 and above, with up to 20 participants in a three-hour guided session.
Registering interest helps shape the pilot and does not confirm or reserve a place.
What children practise

The sessions are designed to encourage participation and respectful interaction. They are not therapy, treatment or a guaranteed developmental solution.

Pilot
The Game Maker for Kids is currently being developed as a pilot programme.
Interest registrations will help Arcane Labs understand preferred locations, schedules and participant needs while the programme is refined. Registering interest does not commit a family to attend.
