WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
Girls Make Games is a series of international summer
camps, workshops and game jams designed to inspire girls
in middle and high school to explore the world of video
games. What started as an attempt to bring the first
all-girls game camp to the Bay Area has now become a
global initiative to address women’s representation in
the gaming industry worldwide.
Here at GMG, we want to address the gender gap by
reaching out earlier. GMG gives middle and high school girls
the opportunity to work alongside established industry professionals to create fully playable games. Thanks to partnerships with tech and game industry giants, our program provides students the ultimate crash course in game design and
development.

BUT ONLY 12% ARE IN
THE INDUSTRY
WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS
HOW YOU CAN HELP
The video game industry is currently undergoing one of
the greatest periods of growth in history. According to the
2013 Global Games Market Report, the worldwide game
industry revenue will exceed $100 billion by the year 2017.
In 2013, CNN listed “Game Designer” as one of the fastest
growing careers in the last decade.
We endeavor to offer this unique experience to
young women worldwide across a host of camps
and workshops. Supporting Girls Make Games isn't
just a social statement – it’s a chance to strengthen
an industry that is already reaching new heights.
Girls can make games, girls should make games,
and games need girls!
Despite its incredible gains, the industry is still crippled by
a lack of gender diversity. Women occupy a mere 12% of
industry jobs, yet make up nearly 47% of the active consumer base.
With your help, we can change those statistics.

GMG - AUSTRALIA
GMG hosted its very succesful inaugural Sydney and
Melbourne summer camps in 2015. 42 middle and high
school girls gathered at AIE in Sydney and RMIT in
Melbourne to make their own games. Several graduates
went on to do internships/work -study programs at local
game studios like League of Geeks.
The workshops were covered by local newspapers such as
the Sydney Morning Herald, as well as gaming sites like
Kotaku Australia.
Several Members of the Australian Parliament attended
GMG’s final presentations day at RMIT.
Due to the popularity of the program in its first year,
GMG will be returning in January 2017 for a second round
of workshops in both Sydney and Melbourne.
