G4C Student Challenge

The Games for Change (G4C) Student Challenge is a national game design program that invites students to create digital games about issues impacting their communities. The Challenge is run in cities across the United States, and includes professional development in game-based learning for educators across the US, in-school and after-school game making courses, student game jams and workshops, mentorship by professional game designers and social issue themes inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with multimedia content provided by cause-based partners. Students are encouraged to submit their original games to the game design competition every Spring for the chance to win awesome prizes and national recognition. Prizes are awarded at culminating awards ceremonies and public exhibitions of student games at local cultural institutions in each city.
