Getting Girls in the Game at Siege 2009

By: GamingAngel

Program “Getting Girls in the Game” launches today at the Southern Interactive Entertainment & Game Expo (SIEGE) in Atlanta. The program is a two year mentoring opportunity to assist women getting into the digital entertainment industry.

Women in the digital entertainment industry barely make up 10 percent. Even though more than 40 percent of gamers in the US are female. Project Directors Abigail Joslin and Andrew Greenberg started Getting Girls in the Game to help create a community that supports women getting into the industry or into college.

“The Georgia Game Developers Association is very excited to see this program start; it is a much-needed initiative. Ultimately, it will help attract more women to an exciting industry, and improve the depth and caliber of games being produced,” said Clinton A. Lowe, President of the Georgia Game Developers Association.

No information is listed on how to get involved but I would inquire with SIEGE organizers to find out more.
