PGJ Educational Edition (or P.G.J. Ed.) is a new program that we are developing for youth in the greater Sacramento region.
It is an educational program designed with the same principal fundamentals we've used in our Progressive Game Jam program over the last nine years. The goal of the PGJ programs is to provide an experience for the participants that spans the full development lifecycle of producing a video game product.
While the main PGJ program allows participants to operate mostly autonomously learning and developing on their own with their teammates in a manner that they choose, P.G.J. Ed. provides a structured curriculum and a strong focus on educational instruction.
PGJ Educational Edition is currently being beta tested in a small pilot program in association with one of our educational partners, Square Root Academy.
From this pilot program, we will develop a full curriculum and program that we plan to release in the first of the P.G.J. Ed. classes starting in Fall of 2023.
