Professor: Paolo Pedercini

This three-day intensive learning experience, led by acclaimed game designer Paolo Pedercini, invites SCM students and faculty members into hands-on, practice-based inquiry. Designed to complement SCM’s undergraduate curriculum, the workshop explores the intersection of technology, culture, and creative practice. Participants will develop original works and prototypes while gaining exclusive exposure to contemporary methodologies that extend beyond the traditional classroom setting.

His work has been exhibited at major institutions worldwide and has shaped academic and public discourse on games as a medium for social commentary, activism, and artistic expression.
