Girls Make Games is an American organization established in 2014 which aims to support and encourage girls to pursue careers in the video game industry. The organization runs annual summer camps open to young girls where they learn how to design and build a video game. Girls Make Games was established in 2014 by Laila Shabir and her husband. Shabir had moved from the United Arab Emirates to the United States to study at MIT, where she rediscovered the positive influence video games could have. After starting a game development studio focusing on education games called LearnDistrict and discovering that the vast majority of applicants were male, the pair decided to pursue initiatives to address the lack of women in the industry. Shabir sent a Tweet proposing the idea of a summer camp for girls, which received a large volume of support, including by developers such as Tim Schafer. The first camp was held at the Computer History Museum, and Shabir found that there was quickly demand for more camps across the United States. Within a few months 14 other camps were being planned. The first camp in Canada ran in 2018. More information...
