Gameheads is a youth program at United Roots’ Youth Impact Hub whose goal is to prepare youth (ages 15-24) for a career in the video game industry. The intention of the Gameheads program is to address the knowledge divide but to do so in a way that is focused on one arm of the tech field: electronic entertainment. Participants of Gameheads will learn how to create, code and design games, building skills across a variety of disciplines from visual art, creative writing, design, programming, sound design, animation, game theory and history. To address the knowledge and digital divide amongst low income/first generation students of color, our program is designed to attract and train youth into multi-talented development teams that produce interactive projects. Video games are not only WHAT we learn; it’s HOW we learn.
