Abstract	This action research investigates DigiPen, an innovative locally developed secondary school course where students are actively engaged in project-based learning while studying how to work effectively in teams focused on digital game design. Students apply art, math, physics, and computer science knowledge and learn important life skills. DigiPen exemplifies the new British Columbia curriculum with cross-curricular integrated approaches to learning. This mixed-methods study identified five themes: career, life skills, leadership, teamwork, and inclusion. Students indicated DigiPen played a significant role in their higher education choices and career paths. DigiPen shows great promise for providing meaningful project-based learning experiences for students. (As Provided).
