QS ImpACT Skills Challenge: SDG Game Design

The QS ImpACT Skills Challenge is an innovative, global initiative that empowers youth aged 18-35 to create impactful educational games centered on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In collaboration with Quacquarelli Symonds (QS)—the world’s leading education company—the University of Exeter, and Arizona State University, this challenge offers a unique platform for participants to develop essential skills through the intersection of education, technology, and game design.

This year, the challenge has attracted over 1000+ students from 24+ countries and 58+ universities, bringing together a diverse and dynamic group of young individuals committed to making a difference. Participants engage in challenge-based learning, guided by industry experts, to explore the intricacies of global issues through the lens of game design. This hands-on approach fosters not only a deep understanding of the SDGs but also the development of critical skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and innovation.

Finalists of the QS ImpACT Skills Challenge will receive global recognition and exclusive benefits, including:

• Recognition at the prestigious QS Reimagine Education Awards in London, United Kingdom.
• Personalized mentorship sessions with leading industry experts to further refine their skills and projects.
• Featured interviews on TopUniversities.com, a platform reaching over 53 million unique visitors annually, offering unparalleled exposure.
• Networking opportunities with industry leaders and other high-impact professionals, providing a springboard for future career opportunities.

The challenge not only empowers participants but also fosters the creation of vibrant, inclusive communities. Through platforms like Discord, students from diverse backgrounds and regions come together to exchange ideas, share expertise, and build lasting connections.

The societal impact of the QS ImpACT Skills Challenge extends well beyond the competition itself. The educational games developed by participants serve as powerful tools for advocacy and empowerment, raising awareness of the SDGs and inspiring positive change within communities worldwide.
