Happy fall! This is the time of year we get out on the road and partner with other festivals, conferences, and expos around the country. We have a lot planned for this season including G4C Arcades, Moveable Game Jams, workshops, and even a Youth STEM Career Day. See our fall schedule below, and we hope to see you at one (or more!) of these events.
In other G4C news, we are launching the 2nd annual G4C Student Challenge later this week! Based on a successful 2015 pilot in NYC, we are expanding this digital game design competition to Pittsburgh, Dallas, and NYC. We are thrilled to be working with a consortium of partners including the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Best Buy Foundation, The New York Community Trust/HIVE, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), Current powered by GE, Mouse, Big Thought, Sprout Fund, Museum of the Moving Image, and Institute of Play! Visit the G4C Student Challenge site to learn more. | | |
