Are you ready to make an impact through digital innovation? The highly anticipated QS ImpACT Global Skills Challenge is back and registrations are now open. This free 'games for good' competition invites students from across the globe to advance the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through creative collaboration and community engagement.'
Organised with the support of leading institutions and organisations including Arizona State University, University of Exeter, Unity, Netcore, and J.P. Morgan, this challenge empowers participants with industry expert-led training to design sustainability-focused digital games that address pressing global challenges.
In 2024, more than 1,000 students from 24 countries and almost 60 universities participated - and we want to make this year's Challenge bigger and better than ever before.
Aashna Shah, Chief Operating Officer of QS ImpACT, said: "This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for students to gain global experience as well as to develop leadership and tech skills from industry experts. You'll learn about the importance of the SDGs and the impact advancing them has on communities across the globe. I encourage students to join our information session on 19 March to find out more."
