About the project
UEFN Sprint Week is a free, one-week online creative bootcamp designed and led by Elena Dimopoulou, the first woman Greek Unreal Authorized Instructor at Epic Games, in collaboration with a global community of creators and educators.
The week is built around shipping rather than watching. Participants arrive without prior experience and leave with an island they have actually published, having worked through level design, devices and publishing in order.
It exists because the gap between wanting to make a game and making one is mostly logistical. Removing the cost and compressing the timeline to a single week removes most of that gap.
