PlayStation Goes to School

Via the PlayStation Blog, SCEA Senior Manager of Developer Support Mark Danks revealed a new program called PlayStation-edu. Universities and colleges will now have the opportunity to purchase PS2 and PSP development kits directly from Sony. Danks hopes that the PlayStation-edu program will make students in secondary education ready to program on PlayStation hardware when they graduate.

"PlayStation-edu is not a general game creation program (sorry artists and designers)," said Danks. "It is for computer science and engineering students who want to understand how the hardware works in the PlayStation consoles. Schools which teach game programming or computer architecture can use the development kits in their classes. Participants will get demo code and samples, as well as documentation about how things work. We want the dev kits used in the classroom! Students in PlayStation-edu will have access to our support web site where they can talk with other students in the program on our forums."

Educators interested in participating in PlayStation-edu should contact Danks at applications@psp-edu.scedev.net.
