The Pawtucket High School Game Design Tournament & Showcase/Expo 2025

The 2025 Pawtucket High School Game Design Tournament & EXPO presented by New England Tech and RIDigi is taking place on November 6, 2025, following months of preparation that began in Spring 2025. During this lead-up, Pawtucket high school students have been growing their game design skill set, learning coding, storytelling, art, music, and production. The program culminates in a final judged tournament where students will showcase their skills and creativity.
