THE PUBLIC OPTION FOR A CAREER IN DIGITAL GAMES

About

Vision

The Gaming Pathways to the City College of New York Program provides an affordable option for individuals who want to pursue careers in the rapidly growing digital gaming industry.

Goal

Create a diverse and skilled workforce, making New York City a leading hub for digital game development.

History

NYC Mayor Adams seeks to make our goal a high priority in his economic recovery plans for the City. Achieving this goal requires a skilled workforce that brings to the industry creativity and ideas that reflect the diversity of our society. Science and Arts Engagement, through its Harlem Gallery of Science, laid the foundation for the Pathways to CCNY and Careers in the Digital Gaming Industry Program, working with CCNY in early 2021. The NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment has contracted with CCNY to offer this program, which will lead to a bachelor’s degree in the growing digital gaming industry.

Funders

The Gaming Pathways Program is made possible through support by:

  • The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment
  • The City College of New York
  • The West Harlem Development Corporation
  • The Harlem Community Development Corporation

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.
