JOIN THE GAME! This fall girls join the game and change the rules.
The Perspektywy Women in Tech Team plans to shake up the video game industry. They believe that passion, energy and new ideas of the youngest generation of gaming enthusiasts will be very useful in the Polish gamedev.
Why? Women account for nearly 47% of the Polish gamers, so it is about time to join video game developers. Gamedev needs women on board – talented artists, young programmers, writers, designers, graphic artists, animators and producers.
To this end, the Perspektywy Women in Tech Team has launched the first mentoring and grant program Girls in the Game! in Poland on October 1, co-organised by CD PROJEKT RED, the main Polish game developing studio creating video games known worldwide (e.g. The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077).
The power of gamedev – one of the world’s fastest developing IT industries – has been co-created by women from the very beginning. The Poland’s first mentoring and grant program is designed for young women – high-school seniors residing in small towns and cities (up to 50,000 inhabitants) – who feel enthusiasm for gaming and new technologies.
