Gaming Academy

Who are we?

 

The Gaming Academy is a local initiative headed by game industry professionals and professors from top universities in the region to help alleviate some of the pain that the residents and youth of Lebanon have been enduring, and instead invest in their determination and innovation! We want to help them create something fun, innovative, and educational: games!

The Academy has over 500 participants yearly! Winners in GA1 are now part of the steering team that creates more impact and learning for everyone involved. Stay tuned for this year’s workshops.
