For 2+ years, we’ve supported the growth of a now active community that includes developers, students, and educators, from both sides of the NJ/NYC state border, with growing racial and gender diversity. We regularly host free events with 100+ attendees, have showcased a diverse range of 100+ locally-developed games, and run intro-level workshops with an equal gender split of teachers.

We want everyone to do this in their city, too! It’s not difficult or costly. We share our successes and failures in promoting diversity and inclusiveness. To help you get started, we provide our grassroots community events “starter kit.”
