Episode 17: Girls Make Games

Today I chat with Laila the founder of Girls Make Games about how their program is helping to get more girls into game development and interested in STEM. Join us as we talk about Education and how the program has grown to really help these girls understand how many opportunities there are in the technology industry.

Chapter 3 just launched and for anyone who hasn't tried the game yet Chapter 1 is available for FREE now on Xbox One! So no excuses- go play!
