Across April and May, Ubisoft’s Canadian studios have welcomed students from elementary to college levels as part of the Big School Visit Contest. The goal? To give young people a behind-the-scenes look at how video games are made—and maybe even spark some future careers in this fast-moving, innovative industry.  

An incredible turnout 

A total of 770 schools entered the contest, and more than 1,000 curious students aged 10 to 18 visited our six studios. Each group enjoyed a guided tour of our spaces, exploring the worlds of game design, animation, programming, and more. They had the chance to meet with professionals, ask questions, and explore the many career paths the gaming industry has to offer. 

“Giving young people direct access to our studios is like planting a seed of curiosity and ambition. We firmly believe that inspiration is born from real-world experiences — and that’s exactly what these visits provide.” — Leslie Quinton, vice-president, communications, Ubisoft 

A heartfelt thank you to the schools 

It was a true pleasure to host so many bright young minds. At Ubisoft, we’re proud to help inspire the next generation of creators—and who knows, maybe even future game developers.
