WELCOME TO THE LAB
A beginner-friendly intercollegiate community for HCI, XR, and Game Dev. We empower voices that haven’t been represented in tech.
To make an
even bigger impact and add more conferences + opportunities to our agenda, we need your help! It's a great
way to make amazing connections and add to your resume.
Deadline: March 5th.
PIXL was founded on a simple truth: talent is universal, but opportunity is not. Too often, students feel like the "only one" in the room in technical spaces.

Free bootcamps & workshops
GDC conferences & events

"Tech affects every field. You should get to shape it back."

Francisco—in collaboration with ICXR and XR Bootcamp.
Focusing on "world models" simulating real-world physics, this in-person event features 40+

We successfully organized a major trip to the Game Developers Conference. By securing $12,000 in scholarships, we brought 10 university women from across the nation to GDC, providing each of them with a free pass worth $1,200. This gave them the opportunity to engage directly with the global gaming industry and marked a massive milestone for our growing community!
