GameSchoolCon 2025

A gathering for conversation, questions and friendship in a casual setting. Don’t miss this opportunity to get to know other unschooling parents and caregivers and what they’ve learned on this incredible adventure. This session is for moms and anyone else who feels unheard, unseen, or even swallowed up by the unschooling life and focusing on other people; let's remind each other how we can focus on ourselves, too.  

Artists!  Crafters!  Game hoarders!  Bring your wares to the Homegrown Artists' Alley and sell them to GameSchoolCon's appreciative guests!  All handmade arts and crafts are welcome, as are gently-used games ready for new homes.  Please be ready to accept cash and make your own change, and keep 100% of your earnings.  Tables are first come, first served, and artists/used game vendors are encouraged to share tables as needed.

Artist Trading Cards Funshop - Open to All Ages!
What are Artist Trading Cards? Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are simply pieces of art that are made out of cards measuring 2.5”by 3.5”. You can buy special paper already cut to this size, or better yet, simply use sturdy paper you already have at home. Old file folders, card stock, greeting cards – any paper that is not flimsy – can be cut to the right dimensions and used as an ATC. Think about baseball trading cards and look for paper about that weight. Or, be creative and use materials other than paper. Just keep to the 2.5” x 3.5” size. Once you have your 2.5 x 3.5” card, what you do with it is up to you. Draw on it, paint, collage, sew, embellish, write words. In an ATCs funshop, all of the participants share materials, themes, techniques and ideas with others in the funshop to make unique ATCs. And we always schedule time for trading/swapping finished cards too.

Welcome to Mardi-Gras! Where everyone is Masked and Mysterious! This whole family dance is one of the highlights of GameSchoolCon and all are welcome! We'll be giving out prizes for the best overall costume, the best mask and the best group costumes! And the prizes? Why games of course!
