We're off until the 6th January. Wishing everyone the best for the holidays - and leaving with this festive scene by BSc 3D Modelling (year 2) student Amelia Ewing. Created in Unreal Engine using the Unreal asset store, for the Virtual Worldbuilding class.
Happy Holidays!
A nighttime scene of an old wood built town, warmly lit with lanterns. There appears to be a gentle fall of fluffy snow. Rendered in Unreal using assets from the asset store.

Fun and educational morning playing How To Fail Your Research Degree by @daisyabbott.bsky.social !
Some surprise successes, at least one disaster (don't forget your ethical approval!), and a whole lot of useful learning... #GameBasedLearning #SeriousGames howtofailyourresearchdegree.com
A grid layout of colourful cards from the game How To Fail Your Research Degree. Six connected blue 'Thesis' cards in the top row is a successful outcome. A blue event card from How to Fail Your Research Degree titled "Ethics!". This event removes four tiles from the grid unless the PLAN includes Ethical Clearance!
