What is Game Animation Lab?

A social program connected to the creative industry.

Game Animation Lab, known as GAL, is a community and educational initiative created to connect Hispanic children, teens and families with creative and technology industries.

We use video games, animation, digital creation, electronics and fabrication as gateways to spark curiosity, develop skills and discover new possibilities.

GAL was not created as a traditional academy. It was created as a meeting point for community, technology, creativity, industry and opportunity.

We want more children to move from simply using technology to understanding, imagining and creating it.
Why we exist

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not.

Many families recognize that technology is essential to their children's future, but they do not always find experiences that are accessible, culturally relevant and available in their own language.

Access barrier

Advanced technology-creation experiences can be expensive, far away or difficult for many families to find.

02

Language barrier

Spanish-speaking parents can be excluded from the educational process when communication, guidance and support are provided only in English.

Consumption without creation

Children and teens use video games, apps and devices every day, but rarely discover how they are designed and built.

GAL Experiences

Learning by creating projects that can be seen, played, touched and shared.

Each activity is designed to connect creativity, technology and teamwork through tangible and memorable outcomes.

An initiative backed by real-world experience

Video game technology is transforming other industries too.

3S Design Lab applies tools, processes and technologies from video game development to projects in education, architecture, visualization, simulation and specialized training.

This professional experience allows Game Animation Lab to bring real industry knowledge to children, teens, families and community organizations.

  • Video games and interactive entertainment
  • Education and immersive learning
  • Architecture and spatial visualization
  • Military training and tactical simulation
  • Technical and industrial training
  • Interactive experiences and digital prototyping

3S Design Lab Technology born in video games. Applied to the real world.
When a child learns to create video games, they are not only learning how to make games: they begin developing the same skills that now drive education, architecture, simulation and industry.
