Spelverkstaden is all about unlocking creativity for everyone, with a focus on digital creative skills and game making, as well as improving the gender balance within STEM and computer science. During 2013-2015, Spelverkstaden conducted several projects in collaboration with educators, educational researchers and non-profit organizations to explore the use of game-jams and creative workshops to inspire and teach digital skills. Many of these efforts were specifically targeted at young children, and especially young girls and non-binary youth, to explore early interventions to counteract the current male-dominance in the creative and games industry.
