You won’t want to miss this exclusive one-day workshop this April!
SAE Brisbane is opening its doors on Saturday 15 April for Create For A Day, a one-of-a-kind full-day program where students can come to our campus and work on inspiring creative projects in the fields of Animation, Audio, Film, Games, Design, Songwriting & Music Production.
Are you contemplating studying creative media? Or do you express yourselves creatively but are not quite sure where it can take you yet? Then, Create for a Day is their chance to find out! You will get to access our campus and its state-of-the-art facilities, take a peek behind the scenes, experience life as an SAE student and discover what it means to be a creative professional, with industry experts by their side.
On the day, attendees will learn valuable practical and collaborative skills as they work towards building a creative piece of work. They will also receive a certificate of participation to acknowledge the creative project they have undertaken.
Due to the tertiary level of the workshop content, this event is open to anyone aged 15 years and above (Year 10 and over).
All workshops are run at the same time, therefore only one workshop can be attended by an individual.
*Lunch included. Tickets are limited and going fast, don’t miss out!
