Every year, thousands of Globaloria students participate in game design competitions called the Globeys. It is the culmination of year-long learning and teaching activities. The Globeys celebrate excellence in game design process and team work, and motivate students to dig deeper into their learning—all while helping them to develop real-world skills. The Globeys are launched in the fall; students work on their projects throughout the school year and submit projects to the competition in the spring. Certificates, prizes and awards are given to the winning teams in the spring and summer at special Globey Award Ceremonies.
