Why Educators Love It
I’ve loved Endless’s initiative from the start. Their courses show young people that a career in games is possible, offering tools and insights into roles like production, design, and art, helping more find their path in the industry.
Laura Foglia
Mentor
As a teacher and game designer, it’s rewarding to support new developers entering this amazing field. I believe learning happens through community and empathy, and Endless lets me live that belief. These courses are a great first step into an exciting career.

FAQ

Is it free?

Yes! All of our curriculum is completely free, no fees, no paywalls, no catch. As a nonprofit, we believe everyone should have access to game design learning. Some partnership services like mentorship and training do come with costs, but exploring and using our content is always free.

How long is the Explore program?

Each session is 2 hours long. Run it once as a workshop, or as often as you like.

Do I need to be a game designer to run it?

Nope. If you can use a browser and follow a guide, you're good. Everything’s designed to be plug-and-play, with support if you need it.

Can I use this in a one-off workshop or after-school club?

Absolutely. Explore was designed for flexible formats, one-off events, enrichment blocks, lunch-time clubs, you name it.
