New Orleans East

IGL Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based out of New Orleans, Louisiana, whose mission is to bring people together to learn, compete, and play. We provide educational opportunities for students in areas of Technology, Gaming and Digital Arts that are not only enriching but also entertaining. As a non-profit organization, we raise money by hosting events and tournaments to provide affordable STEM/Digital Arts education programs for students year-round.

Throughout the year, we produce several events of various sizes and scopes throughout Louisiana and other local areas. 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.

These events include panels and keynotes from industry professionals and competitive e-sports tournaments from local gaming communities .
