Turn your students from players into makers

We believe that students should show that they can be creators and problem solvers, and no multiple choice test or online quiz can demonstrate these skills as effectively as creating, debugging and iterating upon a game that they are proud to call their own.

Teachers Love GameSalad

Thank you for adding the Teacher Dashboard, combining the tutorials in the Creator, and making it step-by-step and easy for our students to navigate. My students are fully engaged and cannot wait to start a new game! Thanks again for listening to teachers and implementing our ideas, WE LOVE GAME SALAD!

Patti Griffin

CTE Teacher, Computer Science & Keyboarding

GameSalad’s low barrier of entry and powerful toolset is great for education. Students in my classes are learning the fundamentals of game design while actually designing their first game at the same time. Some have already taken on their own side-projects!

Mike Rodriguez

Game Design and Integration Instructor at MCAET

GameSalad has inspired my students to use their creativity. Each day, I see my students jump right into their games and strive to create something new and different. They are excited when their hard work pays off and they’ve created a workable, fun game to show their friends.
