Bring us to your after-school ↗We help kids become game makers. We provide free, hands-on lessons at after-schools across the Bay Area and are expanding into chapters across the US.
Bring lessons to your students ↗Built by high school students.
Made for the next generation.
Game Devs Interactive is a student-led teaching organization providing free STEM education. We are formalizing our organization and working toward 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. We bring free game development lessons directly to after-school programs, turning coding and math into something kids can play, share, and feel proud of.
We teach in person across the SF Bay Area and are currently expanding into chapters across the US. Our organization can create custom-made worksheets for YOUR students based on what you want them to learn.
We’d love to provide lessons to your afterschool!
The kids at work!We’re proud of our students’ work :)
Game Devs Interactive was founded by Arya Sharma on a simple idea: students like games more than equations. Maybe our education system's got it wrong: the students that once seemed to hate STEM just needed a new approach?
Led by kids, we teach coding through game development because games make programming feel creative, visual, and exciting instead of abstract. Our lessons are meant to reinforce school concepts such as vector understanding, coordinate planes, Newton’s laws, etc. We understand what students need, because, well, we're kids too!
By bringing free game development lessons directly to afterschool programs, we give younger students early access to computer science in a way that feels hands-on, meaningful, and fun...actually making an impact on student lives.
I was once that kid who hated math, science, and anything coding-related, but games changed my life: I really started falling in love with the concepts I used to spend hours despising!
This is one of the many games you’ll learn to make in our lessons.

Looking for a hands-on way to introduce coding and STEM? We’d love to work with your organization, whether you want mentor-led lessons or resources your own team can teach.
Ask about lessons ↗We welcome high school volunteers to lead lessons, help students debug, or support media and outreach. You don’t need to be a coding expert to lead a chapter!
