The Weston Game Lab at the University of Chicago is a collaborative space to research and develop games that build community, spur creativity, and generate social impact. Here, gameplay becomes a powerful tool for making meaning within a dynamic ecosystem of ideas—a place where collective joy, discovery, experimentation, and problem-solving thrive.
During the last decade, digital and networked media—and especially the video game industry—has achieved faster growth than the book publishing, film, and music industries. Digital games are estimated to engage more than three billion people worldwide this year and generate revenues of approximately $200 billion. Game design and gameplay offer expansive new opportunities for University students, faculty, and researchers. When you support the Weston Game Lab, you support groundbreaking digital and analog game development that empowers researchers, developers, and players to confront topics like structural inequality and climate change with curiosity, creativity, and courage.
You can support the Weston Game Lab through donations of cash, gifts of securities, your employer’s matching gifts program, or a planned gift. Please contact us directly for more information.
