AGDG Academy will be our nonprofit's inaugural educational system. Over the past four years, we have conducted an average of over ten outreach events each year, servicing a local community of hundreds of novice to professional video game developers.
AGDG Academy will be the formalization of our outreach efforts. This program will provide a concrete academy in which we deliver tailored, pre-defined video game development curricula to groups of learners across all skill levels.
Participants will learn from the basics (Scratch programming, simple pixel art) all the way to advanced techniques (C# programming, Unity, Unreal Engine, Blender, Maya, CAD, and more).
The goal is to provide a meaningful bridge for nontechnical participants to learn fun skills that cultivate their interest in STEM skills and creating video games that enrich our community.
Albuquerque Game Developers Guild (AGDG) promotes a community of collaboration in order to create and curate the future of game development in Albuquerque. Ours is a community of inclusivity that welcomes everyone interested in coding as well as creating art, music, stories, and any other interactive game or experience design. To increase accessibility, community, and peer to peer support, we pledge:
~ To provide a safe, inclusive, and inviting space for everyone who wishes to attend meetings, events, or workshops hosted by AGDG. These events are for anyone who seeks a place to create, teach, or collaborate within our community.
~ To provide access to resources that can be critical to many developers. This includes but is not limited to scholarship, mentorship, hardware, software, development kits, and presentation and collaboration equipment. Developers with few resources should have equal opportunity and the support necessary to bring their ideas to life.
~ To nurture the work of the local community through outreach, workshops, conference attendance, public events, and project promotion. AGDG will strive to create platforms to amplify the work and voices of the artists and developers in our community in a diverse and inclusive way.
