Summer Camp Battles
Friday June 8th 2018
Hosted By
For the 3rd year in a row, IGL Foundation is gearing up to pack one of Louisiana’s largest venues for NOLA Gaming Festival, a three-day weekend of unlimited fun and competition! We will be bringing together casual gamers, game creators, gaming teams, youth and other members of the “gaming community” to create opportunities for players to engage with indie game makers, artists, and keynote speakers on a variety of topics and areas of interest. There will be opportunities to play on PCs, consoles, and even table top games. Though NOLA Gaming Fest has previously resided in the New Orleans Pontchartrain Center, IGL Foundation is proud to announce that we have found a new home with our friends at NOLA Motorsports Park, hopefully for years to come!
What is NOLA Gaming Fest?
IGL Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to bring people together to learn, compete, and play by providing opportunities for students in the areas of technology, gaming, and the digital arts that are both enriching and entertaining. We do this by producing events of various sizes and scopes that combine industry professionals and local gaming communities to participate in panels, keynotes, and competitive e-sports tournaments. The IGL Foundation leverages the popularity of the $92B-a-year video game industry to get kids excited about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) as well as digital arts. We raise money by running events and tournaments to provide affordable STEM/Digital Arts education programs for students year-round.
By producing programs, seminars, conventions, and workshops that are both fun and educational, our goal is to better prepare students and their communities to be a part of today’s technology-driven workforce economy.
