A change from previous years, Pinfall Games is committed to creating and updating a Steam Demo Disc where, each year, the games created on Learning Ladders will be added onto the project that can be purchased on itch.io and hopefully Steam.
The goal is that each year, we can update the Demo Disc with more work, allowing students to have a released project on Steam! Any funds received from Steam sales will go back into the Learning Ladders Program. This allows us to keep the program 100% free for participants while improving its content for future Learning Ladders!
At the end of the internship, you will receive credit for the project and a personalised review from the development team, talking about the work you have completed and the professionalism that has been displayed. Participants will also receive the highly coveted Learning Ladder Internship certificate, showing their status as a Learning Ladder!
