The Sandbox takes place in the August before the start of 1st year.

Over the course of four weeks, it bolsters students’ knowledge in their chosen course and introduces them to programming in the context of video games.

It also allows the teaching staff to confirm that the necessary skills for the Game Programming course are present.
