Girls Make Games

Girls Make Games is a series of summer camps, workshops and game jams designed to inspire the next generation of designers, creators, and engineers. Launched in 2014, the program has reached over girls through GMG’s summer camps, workshops, games and books in 22 countries, 166 cities worldwide. GMG was created by Laila Shabir and Ish Syed, founders of LearnDistrict, an educational company committed to creating educational access through video games and enrichment programs. In 2022, we established the GMG Scholarship Fund to support our alumni beyond summer camps through their journeys to college and beyond. The GMG Scholarship Fund provides college tuition grants, mentorship, internship and job support for recipients over four years.
