TKFY is a Screen NSW supported studio · In partnership with Catalyst Games
Run with councils, libraries, community centres, schools and non-profits. TKFY is the NSW host and your first point of contact.
Three formats, one goal — kids who leave excited, and something real in their hands. Every format flexes to your venue, your cohort and your budget.
A two-day bootcamp led by two to three qualified facilitators. Kids learn the fundamentals of game development in Unity and 3D modelling in Blender, guided across crafted levels that cover programming, design and art.
Offline, low-cost and hands-on — no computers required. Kids get to the heart of game design: mechanics and game loops, in a low-pressure setting. They build the game they want — card, board, story-driven or gameplay-driven.
The same bootcamp stretched across a term — roughly six to eight weekly sessions of about 90 minutes, pitched at a Year 8–9 double lesson. Your path into curriculum and careers-pathway budgets.
Two minutes inside a workshop — the room, the kids, the games they make.
Whether you run a council holiday programme, a library, a classroom or an OOSH — here's what you get.
Made for council youth and library teams, STEM and careers leads, holiday-programme coordinators, PCYCs, OOSH and community centres.
We do the heavy lifting so your team doesn't have to.
We handle council supplier onboarding, compliance and insurance documentation as part of booking. Pricing is quoted one-to-one when you enquire, tailored to your cohort and dates.
If you run programmes for young people in NSW, there's a workshop here for your kids.
Around 11 to 17. We confirm the right bracket with you for each cohort, so the session lands for the kids in the room.
Groups of 10 to 20 work best. Tell us your numbers and we'll shape the session and facilitator team around them.
For the Unity bootcamp, the host supplies the PCs — we've worked with council and school machines, including Deep Freeze and state drives. Paper Prototyping needs no computers at all.
A certificate — physical and digital — and a USB holding the game they built. In the school-term programme, that's a playable executable of their finished game.
We handle council supplier onboarding, compliance and insurance documentation as part of booking. Enquire and we'll walk your team through exactly what's needed for your venue.
Enquire with your org, region and rough dates. We tailor the workshop to your cohort, quote it one-to-one, and confirm. That's it.
“Could not stop talking about his day.”
Real words from Catalyst Games' council and library workshops in South Australia.
A lot of children and parents wouldn't consider game development as a future career path. Several of our participants had no idea it was a possibility they could move into the video game industry as a career.
My ASD son had an amazing time — he could not stop talking about his day. The space was small, with like-minded people, and it really helped him come out of his shell. Please do more!
We're a neuro-divergent family, and with autistic children it's important to find safe places where they can engage with their peers. The workshop gave our son a chance to explore an interest, learn new skills, and connect with peers — all wrapped up in an area of strength. Many thanks!
I enjoyed making a game and getting to take it home.
I enjoyed the freedom and the mix of challenge.
He'd played around with Unity before, but this really took him next level — he had such a good time.
Kids rated the learning — for both “I learnt how to turn my creative idea into a game to develop” and “I learnt to use different programs to increase my coding knowledge.”
