A "Game Jam" is a fun, intense event where a group of people come together in a short space of time (say 2 to 4 days) and make a functioning video game (ideally, anyway!). These are great events to teach teamwork and technical skills. Trinity Western University's Game Development program started running these events this year and we'd love to share what we learned from the experiences with you. Come talk through what hosting a Game Jam might look like and think through how you might do this with your technically and artistically minded students!
