PixelHaze Bootcamp: Volume One

1 Feb

We are deliriously excited to announce that PixelHaze Academy has teamed up with Powys County Council and Welsh Government to assemble a high-octane, two-day creative Bootcamp.

Spanning over two days in February half term (22nd-23rd February 2022), the content is aimed at 16 to 25-year-olds, with a key focus on branding, graphic design and web design. Our Builth Wells training studio will allow you to put your creative talents to the test, whilst also providing you with the opportunity to learn new skills.

Bootcamp: Volume One will deliver a mixture of short snappy theory sessions, showcasing design best practices, and a series of design challenges to put these new concepts into practice.

A teaser trailer for our first digital media BootCamp, running on the 22nd and 23rd February 2022 at our Builth Wells studio. For 16 to 25-year-olds, a maximum of 6 attendees.

PLEASE NOTE: This intensive two-day course is strictly on a first come first serve basis. If you have missed the opportunity for the first Bootcamp, you will keep your queue position for any future events.
