Meet the Game Makers Session with Gamers and Games Developers Vicky Twomey-Lee and Michael Twomey

  • Reading

Come join us to explore careers in gaming and game development. In conjunction with the gaming workshops held in Wexford’s five libraries during Cruinniú, we are organizing five ‘Meet the Gamer’ sessions, each featuring different gamers at various libraries. These sessions provide young people with the opportunity to engage with workshop leaders and gain insights into the intricacies of gaming and game-making.

Vicky Twomey-Lee – Diversity in Tech Advocate

Since the first time Vicky set eyes on a Nintendo Famicom her dad brought back from Hong Kong in 1984, she had her heart set on a career in gaming. With experience as a researcher and curator for the GAME exhibition at Science Gallery Dublin, Vicky is interested in game-making, creative technologies, traditional gaming crafts. She was the former Maker Advocate for Dublin Maker, and produces The Irish Makers Podcast. Vicky runs game jams around Ireland through GameCraft which she co-founded with Michael Twomey.

Michael Twomey – Software Engineer

Michael is an engineer based in Dublin. He brings people together through various groups, including Coding Grace and GameCraft. Through co-organising GameCraft game jams and workshops, he teaches coding and electronic engineering. In his spare time, he tinkers on various projects and devises new hardware for gaming controller workshops.

In partnership with Imirt – the representative body of game developers and creators from all disciplines throughout Ireland.
