    SIA HELPS STUDENTS BECOME LEADERS IN CREATIVITY AND TECH

    Learn how SIA graduate and current SIA Assistant Teaching Artist, Geneva Heyward, is changing the face of the game design industry!

    Students from historically disadvantaged families have fewer opportunities to learn than their wealthier peers. Closing the opportunity gap, especially in technology, is the only way we will make progress toward closing academic achievement gaps that separate Black and Hispanic students from their White peers. We believe every child should have access to a quality education, regardless of their race or socio-economic background.
