Madd Gaming
Building Skills. Creating Futures.
Madd Gaming helps young people turn their interest in gaming and technology into real-world skills, confidence, creativity, and opportunity.
More Than Playing Games
We aren't simply teaching kids how to play games. We're helping them learn how to build what's next.
Gaming is more than entertainment. Behind every game are programmers, artists, designers, writers, engineers, musicians, producers, testers, and countless creative professionals. Madd Gaming helps young people look beyond the screen and discover the skills and people responsible for creating the games and technology they already love.
Learn. Create. Give Back.
Learn
Students are introduced to practical technology and creative skills through hands-on experiences, mentorship, and projects.
Create
Students learn by building. They apply their knowledge to games, websites, artwork, interfaces, characters, environments, and other digital projects.
Give Back
Madd Gaming uses its resources, donations, projects, partnerships, and community support to create more opportunities for the young people we serve.
Why Gaming?
The Game Is Only the Beginning.
A young person who loves video games may already be interested in technology without realizing it. The character they love could introduce them to digital art. The game mechanic they question could introduce them to programming. The menu they navigate could introduce them to UI/UX design. The online world they explore could introduce them to networking and servers. The game's economy could introduce them to mathematics and systems design. The story could introduce them to writing. The experience of building something with friends could introduce them to teamwork and leadership.
Madd Gaming uses that existing interest as a doorway into something much bigger.

Faith in Action
Our gifts are not meant to be kept to ourselves.
Our faith teaches us that our gifts are not meant to be kept to ourselves. They are meant to be used to serve others. Madd Gaming is guided by Christian principles of service, generosity, compassion, integrity, mentorship, and hope. We believe helping a young person discover their potential is one way we can put those principles into action.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others." — 1 Peter 4:10
Everyone deserves someone who believes their future is worth investing in.
