What happens when younger learners become game designers and changemakers? In this fireside chat, G4C and Sanford Harmony announce a new partnership that expands the G4C Student Challenge to students in grades 3 to 5. Built around the theme "Everyone Belongs Here," the initiative allows elementary learners to use game design to explore empathy and belonging, and the conversation covers why game-making supports creativity and relationship-centered learning at an early age.


Speakers: Miriam Anne Blanc-Gonnet (Senior Manager, User Strategy), Arana Shapiro (Chief Operating & Programs Officer, Games for Change)

Recorded at the 2026 Games for Change Festival, "Reimagining Play," July 21 to 22 at The Glasshouse in New York City.
