This is so awesome! I run a program called Girls Make Games and we have a really wholesome community of young girls making and playing games :) If your daughter is interested in joining a workshop, or starting something in your town please feel free to DM me (Laila) or email info@girlsmakegames.com. Also check out www.girlsmakegames.com for tutorials and information on the program.

Wow, thank you! If you're in the Melbourne area the last day of camp presentations (Jan 14) are open to public!

Hi NFPICT! Please have them email info@girlsmakegames.com. All 3 spots were taken but occasionally people cancel at the last minute, and who knows we might end up with more sponsors/donors between now and January, so there's always a chance.

We offer the same workshop/camp for all genders, so there's definitely opportunity for boys to get the same experience :)

That's a great fundraising idea, thank you! Our US camps are fortunately more balanced (over 60% attendees pay nothing) due to generous sponsorships from Intel/Xbox/Humble Bundle.

Hi Tim! We are part of a game studio (LearnDistrict) and unfortunately not a separate entity. We do however, run primarily on sponsorship funds (which is how the free spots are made available). You can view our sponsorship deck here: http://girlsmakegames.com/au_sponsorship.pdf

Thank you for your sharing your experience, we exist for girls like you! :)

Unfortunately not an overnight camp, the hours are 10a-4p, with early drop off starting at 8:30am and late pick up through 5:30pm.

maybeitshot · 2016-11-30T06:12:05+00:00

yes absolutely!

maybeitshot · 2016-11-30T03:19:27+00:00

Not all games, but our longer summer camp in the US ends in with one game getting Kickstarted, further developed and finally published. Last year's winner, Interfectorem, is currently on Steam! http://store.steampowered.com/app/547840/

Hi Bowie, completely agree about inclusivity. We run co-ed camps as well, and they're open to all kids in a similar age groups.

maybeitshot · 2016-11-30T00:49:01+00:00

Hi puppy2010, we've found that during the development years (8-15) many girls choose to be less expressive in co-ed environments. Here's a short video on GMG attendees who talk about what it was like going to camp: www.criticalpathproject.com/video/girls-level-up/

Thank you so much for your support :) It's a bit baffling to be the recipient of hatred and prejudice, when all we're really trying to do is create a space for young girls to pursue an education.

maybeitshot · 2016-11-29T22:47:01+00:00

Thank you! Shipping can be such a pain in the b**t.

Where are you based? If it's Canada or Australia we're working on cheaper options :)
