Events

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.

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.
