Program Pipeline
I didn’t think four years later I would be kind of where I am. I’m in college! And, there’s opportunity popping up left and right for me and my friends around me. It’s kind of an amazing feeling actually.
— Rebecca Taylor, Gameheads Student
The goal of the CLASSIC program is to prepare students for the video game industry. Once accepted, a classic student stays in the program until they age out or transitions into the tech/video game industry. Classic students get access to industry events, mentors, free classes, hardware/software, educational support, personal counseling, access to internships, paid opportunities and more.
