THE PUBLIC OPTION FOR A CAREER IN DIGITAL GAMES

Media

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.)

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.
