Why We Exist
Students told us
Support for game development at the student level is very limited.
I wish my school had a class or club focused on video game development led by an experienced instructor.
— UC Berkeley Student Survey Respondent
I came from a very poor community, so our resources were scarce. Any classes on game design were nonexistent. I really wish I had people like you.
— UC Berkeley Student Survey Respondent
Courses or clubs at my school for game design would have been fantastic. I was struggling to figure out how I could turn my skills in art into a job.
