¶ Overview
IGDA WPI is a WPI's chapter of the International Game Developers Association. As of September 2022, our chapter is one of 14 recognized student chapters of IGDA in the world. It is open to any student at WPI interested in interactive media or games, regardless of major or background.
¶ Activities
IGDA holds weekly meetings to inform attendees about game development as a skill, career, and industry, and gives them opportunities to practice relevant skills. In addition to regular meetings, IGDA also provides special events which give more in-depth relevant experience such as our variety of software workshops and quarterly game jams. All IGDA events are available to not only the IMGD student body, but also all other students with an interest in game development, regardless of major.
