Built by students,
for students.
The Game Devision ecosystem works like this: from high schoolers learning the craft, to college students teaching as mentors, to industry professionals opening doors and giving back.
structured progression
Pathway for
Growth
Game Devision isn't a one-time workshop. It's an ecosystem of growth between stages of your personal development. Students enter as beginners and move through a structured arc: learning fundamentals, shipping projects, gaining feedback, and eventually becoming the mentors themselves. Every step is scaffolded by people who've already walked the same path, creating a self-reinforcing cycle where growth compounds over time.
near-peer learning
College
Mentors
Our college mentors come from UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, and other university game development programs. Because they made the high-school-to-college leap recently, they know the exact hurdles our students are facing. They run workshops, review student work, answer Discord questions at odd hours, and model what it looks like to take game dev seriously. All while still being students themselves.
real-world access
Industry
Professionals
The Bay Area is one of the world's great game development hubs, and we use that proximity deliberately. Industry professionals join us for speaker sessions, portfolio critiques, and open conversations about life in the field. Students get to ask questions of people who have those careers. That direct exposure reshapes what students believe is possible for themselves.
community moments
Events
Our events are where the community becomes real. We experience major industry expos like the Day of the Devs. Students present games they built and get feedback from peers and professionals at the end-of-semester showcases on campus in UC Berkeley or UC Davis. Events aren't a perk, they're a core part of how milestones reinforce your skills.
