Dare to be Digital is a video games development competition for extremely talented students at Universities and Colleges of Art. Teams of 5 students, usually a mix of artists, programmers and audio, assemble at Abertay University for 9 weeks during June to August to develop a prototype video game, receiving mentoring from industry.

Teams must be made up of members from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and interested sutdents can look for team members on www.daretobedigital.com and www.gamedevelopers.ie .
