Overview
Mission
Committed to raising the percentage of the under-served in the diversity-lacking gaming and interactive industries, we accomplish this through our youth steam (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) workshops and young adult apprenticeship program which raises awareness of opportunites and exposes young people, especially those who are under-served and at-risk, to the fundamentals of game design, animation, art, programming, producing/qa; and introduces emergent technologies such as vr (virtual reality), ar (augmented reality), and iot (internet of things).
What it reported doing in 2025
Apprenticeship, animation, and gaming workshop.
