About Us

Who Am I?

Hi I'm Lucy Stent , I am 29 and in my second year of a PhD focusing on machine learning, while teaching at Falmouth University- Games Academy.

I was awarded for academic achievement from Women in Games in 2017, and I have also recieved grants from the Girls of the Guild and Hilda Marindale to study my Masters degree in 2019. As of 2020 I was also awarded the Google Techmakers grant to continue studying to a PhD level.

I left main stream school at 14 as I have dyslexia and dyspraxia and falling behind in most classes compared to my peers, I was then educated by Oxford Open Learning. I worked for some time as a zookeeper before deciding to take the leap and follow my dream to becoming a game programmer.
