Skyscraper Games Program
EGS, Drexel University, Brandywine Realty Trust
Skyscraper Games gets middle-school students excited for game design with the larger-than-life LED display that is the Cira Centre. The Entrepreneurial Game Studio has hosted workshops to teach students basic programming and game design so they may create their own games to be played on the Cira Centre. The project has its own website with coding tutorials and an editor where people may test their games.
