Game Builders Academy

ABOUT GBA

GBA (Game Builders Academy) was formed in 2006, by co-founders Phil Lipsky, Michael Pugliese, and Sally Brecher Rosenberg, to teach children and teens how to design and program their own video games. In 2007, Walter Ebe joined GBA as Vice President of Marketing, significantly expanding the scope of GBA educational services and clients.
