Their ideas. Their characters. Their worlds. Eleven games, designed and built alongside young people in the JOSHWAY Creative Lab, and free for anyone to play.
What if young people stopped just playing games, and started building them?
In the JOSHWAY Creative Lab, they do. They dream up the story, design the characters, test every level, and watch something that lived in their imagination come to life on a screen.
Doubt turns into confidence. Curiosity turns into skill.
At JOSHWAY, we believe every young person deserves access and opportunity. Building a game is how a young person discovers they can build anything.
Every game here started as a young person’s idea. Racing, sports, space, music, money. They chose the worlds, and they helped bring them to life.
Along the way they learn how technology actually works. Design, logic, testing, and teamwork. The kind of digital literacy that opens real world opportunities.
Young people pick the world, the hero, and the challenge. Every game starts with their idea.
They sketch the characters, map the levels, and decide how the game should feel.
Working alongside JOSHWAY facilitators and modern creative tools, they bring the game to life and test it until it works.
The game goes live in the JOSHWAY Arcade, where friends, family, and the whole community can play what they built.
A team quiz race through Money City. Every right answer gets your hero closer to the vault.
From school to retirement. Earn, save, handle surprise bills, and build your best life.
College, a first job, and real money decisions. Build savings and credit, and earn your certificate.
A two team rocket race to Planet JOSHWAY, fueled by smart choices about tech.

We bring the Creative Lab experience to schools, youth programs, and community partners. Young people leave with a game they helped build, and a new belief about what they are capable of.
And for young builders ready to go further, JOSHWAY Forward puts their skills to work for real Lehigh Valley businesses and nonprofits. It all starts in our programs.
Schools, after school programs, youth organizations, community partners, and families who want young people creating with technology, not just consuming it.
A real, playable game they helped create. Digital skills they can build on. And the confidence that comes from making something real.
If you can picture your students, your program, or your own kids building something like this, we would love to hear from you. Tell us a little about your young people, and we’ll be in touch.
