Meet Adam Syrop

Adam is an award-winning team leader at Impact Gamers. He will be running our Gaming programme across the Wakefield District this summer s’cool.

What I do…

 I teach kids how they can make their own games.

Growing up I wanted to become…

Vet - aged 4, Pilot - aged 8, Animator - aged 11, the ability to go in the back of a car without being car sick - aged 40

The thing that surprised me most about my career…

 is the fact that I could change the thing I volunteered my spare time in (After School games group) into a full time job. Then I won a BAFTA because of it (2018 Young Games Designer BAFTA for mentoring).

The best advice anyone ever gave me…

Either get a well paying job and take time off for things you enjoy, or get a job you enjoy and not worry about wealth.
