Game Changers: A Circular Game Design Hackathon

Organised by Press Start Academy

Games are the most powerful form of immersive learning.
 
In the modern era where experience is king, we are seeing a fascinating movement exploring social impact and educational innovation in the form of creative and interactive storytelling mediums, such as digital games, extended reality (XR, or AR/VR) experiences, and analogue tabletop game experiences.
 
Following the inaugural Games for Change Hong Kong event in June 2023, Press Start Academy is excited to take the Games for Change movement to the next level: to enable more enthusiasts to become designers and creators, and to explore the potential for impact that interactive mediums have to educate, inspire and empower others in our home city.
