April 26, 2026

The Made It in Brooklyn Play Jam & Showcase in April 2026 event brought together the inaugural NYU Tandon Game Design Future Lab (GDFL) cohort and NYU Game Center Incubator teams for a six-month milestone celebration, and the energy in the room at WC Art & IPRC on Jay Street said it all! Local gamers, creators, and designers from all over NYC gathered to learn, share, and connect with their community.
