Oregon Game Project Challenge (OGCP)
The Oregon Game Project Challenge is a video game development competition for middle school (MS) and high school (HS) students. Each fall, OGPC announces a theme for that year’s competition. Teams work to design a video game based on that theme to present at the main event in May.
OGPC uses student interest in making games to develop a wide variety of skills. Students write code, create art and music, craft a story and design gameplay. They learn project management and teamwork as they collaborate over multiple months to deliver a project. And they practice their soft skills as they present their project to judges and other students.
