Holiday workshops: Interpreting Games (ages 12 - 14)

What happens when winning isn’t everything—and sometimes working together is the smartest move?

In this engaging workshop, participants will be introduced to the exciting world of game theory, where maths meets decision-making and strategy.

Through fun, interactive activities, participants will explore simple concepts like zero-sum and non-zero-sum games, and what it means when a game has complete information.

We'll wrap it all up by playing a kid-friendly version of the classic Prisoner’s Dilemma, helping young thinkers discover how choices affect outcomes—not just for themselves, but for everyone involved!

This workshop is strictly for 12 - 14 year-olds.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
