Game on!

We’re partnering with the Lancaster Rec Esports program for a day of video game design and play! Compete in popular games like Super Smash Brothers™ and Mario Kart™. Players can test their skills, cheer on friends, and experience the excitement of esports in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Visitors of all ages can also participate in our Play for Impact Video Game Design Workshops. Participants will design, develop, and test their own video game using Scratch, a block-based programming tool.
Stay tuned for more video game fun as the event gets closer!  This event is presented free with admission.
