About

Player One, Ready.

The Entertainment Technology Center is celebrating 25 years of shaping the future of play. Now it’s your turn to press start.

For 25 years, ETC students have been designing the future of games, interactive storytelling, and immersive technology. They don’t just imagine new worlds. They build them.

Your gift makes that possible.

It expands access to an ETC education, supports conference participation, co-ops and internships, and fuels bold, creative projects.

It helps a student say yes to an opportunity they otherwise might have missed, whether that’s presenting at a conference or bringing an idea to life.

Every gift supports the next generation of creators. Every donor becomes part of the quest.

Achievement Unlocked: Ignite Possibility.
