| Overview: | Games education holds one of the keys to diversifying the games industry, starting with achieving more gender variety in game development programs. For example, a recent IGDA survey showed that 30% of game students are women, as opposed to 22% in the industry overall. This session features a series of testimonials from female developers, who are currently students, in some of the top development programs in the US. |
