While still young, the Gaming Pathways have already produced videos from esports competitions, a lecture series, a Mayoral Press Conference, a rap video, and more. It also received both local and national press coverage.
To launch the new Gaming Pathways, we held a public lecture series in 2022 – composed of students, academics, and industry leads – about esports. Many of the videos from this series can be viewed below (and a free print compilation can be found here.)

Yesterday we made a trip out to the New York Hall of Science @nysci to talk about the upcoming Digital Games Development degree at City College.
We must have gone through at least 100 gaming pamphlets! It was great speaking to all of the interested parents and students and seeing their excitement about studying game design. It truly fuels our motivation and passion for the program.
Thank you again to the Hall of Science for inviting us out, it was a wonderful opportunity. And everyone, please visit our website at gamingpathways.org for more information about the program and how to get involved! #ccny #gamedev #gamingpathways
