XPRIZE Launches New Video Game Design Challenge

Los Angeles-based XPRIZE said it has launched a new initiative, which will provide "thousands of dollars" in prizes that invites the next generation to develop video games which "depict a better future for humanity". According to XPRIZE, the new effort, XPRIZE Connect, aims to "democratize access to learning through technology" and will be open for entrants between the ages of 10 and 18 years old. The group said the competition will encourage entrants to design and/or develop a video game across the themes of Exploration, Environment, and Human Equity. XPRIZE said entries for the competition will be due by October 14, 2020.
