WILA Games and Education Industry Collider

The Collider returns Monday, November 10, 2025, at 6:00 PM at our new venue Cornish Playhouse (just across Seattle Center from PacSci).

The Washington Interactive Learning Alliance (WILA) co-founded by Seattle Indies, Seattle EdTech Meetup, foundry10, and Perfect Day Games, is teaming up to bring you a classic Collider evening event featuring a fireside chat with Portal creator Kim Swift, a panel discussion with industry leaders in the space, breakout roundtable sessions and our usual expo floor. You will also get to hear an update from the WILA sponsored capstone project team at UW last year and the exciting tool they created to specifically help game developers and educators think about building games that are classroom ready.

The focus of this year’s Collider is making games classroom ready and to prepare everyone for the brand new Games and Education Game Jam that will be happening the following weekend on November 14th and 15th at DigiPen Institute of Technology across the water in Redmond. We are also working on a possible venue in Seattle for folks lacking transportation to the East Side so stay tuned for that. This game jam will bring educators and game developers together to build prototypes of games that are classroom ready to teach concepts for a wide variety of subjects, mostly aimed at the K-12 demographic.

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. If you have any questions or you would like to exhibit a game, project, product or technology at the event please reach out to us at [email protected].
