Welcome to the IGDA Education Curriculum Framework Project
The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) is updating the Education Curriculum
Framework, originally published in 2008. This initiative aims to refresh and refine the
guidelines for game development education, ensuring they align with today’s industry needs.
If you're passionate about game education, we invite you to join us as a volunteer or stay
informed about the latest updates. We are currently seeking specialists to help develop course and topic
recommendations per specialty area after the comment period ends.
