What if my child likes gaming and wants a game career?
Explore different tasks in games such as programming, art, storytelling, testing, sound and production. Enjoying games is a starting point, not proof of enjoying game development.
A useful next step
Ask the student to make a tiny game or level and document what they liked.
For example
A student may discover they prefer game narrative to coding mechanics.
