The Radical Play Lab provided a customized extensive training program for 21 students from the Entertainment Industry Outreach Program’s HBCU in LA Games program in the summer of 2024.
The students, who represented schools such as Alabama A&M, North Carolina A&T, and Spellman College received instruction in C++, game design, games development, and game platforms. The program was tremendously successful in helping this cohort develop industry-specific skills and in providing networking opportunities with companies located throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
There remains, however, a need for a continued and sustained program that prioritizes community-centered games development and extends the summer curriculum.
