SCAD-Atlanta Game Club

SCAD Game Club is a SCAD students organized club, advised by the SCAD ITGM faculty. SCAD Game Club is not just about playing games. Of course, playing games is very important and it is something we absolutely can’t live without. However, we certainly do much more than just playing games. In each SCAD Game Club meeting, we exchange brain juices by offering game development tutorials, game design workshops and game project play-testing sessions. It’s about getting together to play games and make games. It’s about getting together to collaborate and help each other to get projects done and make them better while having fun.
