Seattle EdTech Meetup, Seattle Indies, Pacific Science Center, Perfect Day Games, and sponsor foundry10 are partnering to host the 4th annual Games and Education Industry Collider. an event designed to bring educators and game industry professionals from all around the greater Seattle area together for a day of networking, panels, workshops, knowledge sharing, and of course, games!
On Saturday, November 16, 2024 we will gather at Pacific Science Center for a full day of exploration of the intersection of games and education.
We realize this is a shift if the originally planned date and time but we recently received funding as recipients of an ICAP award and the formation of the Washington Interactive Learning Alliance (WILA) to expand our programming and present some amazing speakers and sessions.
Immerse yourself in a dynamic environment where innovative minds come together to discuss the potential of games in education. From gamified learning platforms to educational game development, this event will showcase inspiring projects and thought-provoking discussions.
Discover how games can revolutionize the way we learn, engage, and educate. Interact with experts, educators, and game enthusiasts who share a passion for leveraging games as powerful educational tools.
Whether you're an educator, a game developer, or simply curious about the future of education, the Games and Education Collider is the place to be. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired!
Food will be provided at no cost.
We will announce speakers, sessions, and exhibitors for the event in the coming weeks. Food will be provided at no cost. If you have any questions or would like to participate, please reach out to us at [email protected].
