On our site you’ll find many informational tutorials, job posts, creative challenges, and curriculum  that relate to the creative industries of video game design, computer animation, and media design.

These different mediums/fields of design are often so new that it is hard to find standardize curriculum, up-to-date information, creative inspiration and even job openings for these fields in the mid-west. Everyday more and more businesses are using these mediums to get their message out there. The mid-west is a prime location to establish a business or pursue a degree in these digital media industries. As the mid-west, primary states such as Oklahoma and Kansas, continue to grow in these fields, it has become evident that there is no centralized location for locating degree programs, employee, employers and curriculum for these industries.

gamesOK.org wants to change all that by becoming the #1 resource in both Oklahoma and Kansas for connecting students, educators and employers in these new design industries together. I hope that you will join our organization and help it grow towards becoming a wealth of resources to all.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Akram Taghavi-Burris – gamesOK.org Founder
