#67 Breaking into the video game industry

Are video games just distractions, or can they be powerful learning tools? In this episode of Education Monsters, we sit down with Robby, a gameplay programmer and teacher from Québec, to challenge the stigma around gaming.

Robby shares his journey from growing up as a gamer to making it his career, and how he reassures parents that video games can foster creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork—when used mindfully. He also discusses how he’d approach gaming as a parent and what it takes to break into the gaming industry.
