Level Up Lab (LUL) is a student team from Politecnico di Torino driven by a collective passion for video gaming. This student-led initiative seeks to elevate game development skills among the student body, preparing them for successful careers in the gaming industry while cultivating a vibrant community centered on a shared love for video games. LUL members aim to present the overarching student team activities and vision to academics and industry professionals, seeking to forge valuable connections and broaden the game development community within universities.
The heart of LUL is the active development of video games by five dedicated teams, each comprising various members from all the diverse academic programs offered by the Politecnico di Torino.
Level Up Lab strives to deliver around five projects (one for each team), without counting the work of the members participating in our peer mentoring program, and to make them freely downloadable and playable in our itch.io page every year.
We are currently seeking opportunities to collaborate on master thesis projects with game studios and we are open to partnerships that can further our mission.

The idea of a student-led initiative to develop videogames in Politecnico di Torino was born from the would-be co-founders during breaks between classes when, one day, they decided to transform it into something real; after months of hard work and meetings the name came up and, with it, all the goals the team aimed to reach.
With time, more and more people ****have become interested in this project, and in March 2024 the team has been officially created. To reach this goal, the support of Marco Mazzaglia (Game Design professor), Francesco Strada (Virtual Reality professor), and IGDA Italy has been fundamental.
Leonardo Pieraccioli is the first team leader and head of the association. The following individuals are the other co-founders, who have provided fundamental support in several key areas:
