Deck of cards created as a tribute to the IT world to encourage gender equality, diversity, and inclusion.
Game Geeks News is proud to bring you another great gaming project currently running on Kickstarter. Shuffle IT are decks of cards created as a tribute to the IT world to encourage gender equality, diversity, and inclusion by Andreea Twist (Brasov, Romania). Andreea is a Technology enthusiast and cloud solutions engineer. During her 10 years working in the IT industry, she has personally experienced the challenges of creating a truly diverse, but inclusive workspace. Although Andreea feels that progress has been made, there is still a long way to go until everybody feels welcomed and valued in the tech world.
This is why Andreea wanted to design something that could promote this progress, a deck of cards created as a tribute to the IT world, focused on encouraging gender equality, diversity, and inclusion. It can be a practical tool to help drive positive change or just a fun way to play with friends and discuss technology and IT!
The deck is designed with 2 cards of each gender for faces to promote gender equality. Therefore, it includes both female and male Kings, Queens, and Jacks.
It also contains different ethnicities, from white to Asian & black.. because everyone with the proper knowledge can join! The Aces are created based on some of the most important moments in the IT world and contain: Turing machine, Z3 (the first digital computer), a laptop, and AI
Let’s help me bring this project to life!
The decks are a standard 54 cards and come in three different packages:
- Code lovers (the pink one)
- Classic (the blue one)
- Classy debugging (the black one)
Each of these packages has the package and the backs of the cards modified to match their theme.
You can enjoy any of the classical games with unique & fresh designs!
The cards:
- ACES: Turing machine, z3 computer, a laptop, AI
- KINGS: CEO, CTO, CFO, CMO
- QUEENS: Cloud / System Engineer, Developer, Quality Assurance, Chief Architect
- JACKS: Designer, Technical Writer, Analyst, Human Resources
Andreea has created a working prototype containing all cards. This is not the final version of the product, but it would be improved upon, depending on the available money pool.
