— Rebecca Taylor, Gameheads Student
Industry Exposure
We take trips to some of California’s biggest tech companies and events, including LucasArts, Pixar, E3, the Java Conference and the Game Developers Conference. Also, we have hosted numerous industry professionals from Glue, Ubisoft, Teklet, Inc. and Kixeye to teach tech clinics, play test our student’s games and provide them with feedback.
Education Counseling
A premiere goal at our organization is to ensure that all of our students graduate from high school and attend post-secondary education, preferably four-year universities to further their skills in STEAM education. Therefore, Gameheads offers individual academic, college and career counseling
We envision a world where low-income youth and youth of color are equipped to thrive and succeed in any field they choose, including the tech and video game industries.
Gameheads is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives.
