Welcome to our Supporter Series! 💡We are spotlighting the organizations and entities that make the Gaming Pathways Program possible.

The positive impact we aim to make on students is a community effort, and we thank all who believe in and support our mission, empowering youth to explore #STEM through their interest in gaming.

Our Video Game Camp held at Harlem School of the Arts in collaboration with Epic Games, Harlem Gallery of Science, and the City College of New York, just concluded for Summer 2024.

With daily hands-on coding classes and expert guidance, students were given the opportunity to learn all about game production - gradually building their own video games and playing each other’s games over the seven-week span of the program.

What an amazing way for students to explore their creativity and develop valuable skills! Thank you to all who made this program possible, helping to empower youth through gaming.
