YOUR PROJECT

Digital games and gamified e-learning projects are eligible for this grant. Eligible projects include apps for smart phones and tablets, console or PC games, and augmented or virtual reality experiences. Projects focused on education or training are welcome, as long as the experience has been "gamified," meaning users will feel like they are playing a game.
