Introducing GMG’s First Ever Global Virtual Workshop Series!
Dear GMG Friends & Family,
On the heels of the success of our Virtual Summer Camp in the US, we are thrilled to bring virtual workshops to *all* kids around the world! 🎮 🌟
For the first time ever, GMG workshops will offer both all-girls and co-ed options to families.
By expanding the program’s mission to include all kids, our virtual workshops aim to reach kids of all genders at a time when they are starved for opportunities to learn outside the classroom, to make friends, and to express themselves creatively.
We can’t wait to meet and make games with the next generation of global game developers! ❤️
Virtual Workshops Overview 💫
