The NSF Game Maker Awards commemorates the 75th anniversary of the U.S. National Science Foundation by engaging students in grades K-12 in a video game design challenge.
This initiative aims to make STEM subjects exciting and accessible, encouraging students to imagine life in the year 2100 and the role science and technology will play in shaping the future.
Participants will create video games based on the theme “Life in 2100,” focusing on NSF-supported research areas such as sustainable ecosystems, futuristic cities, medical technology and more. The challenge seeks to foster innovative thinking, creativity and a deep understanding of STEM concepts among students.
