Hack ‘n’ Jam is a virtual, Week long, team-based event in which participants studying areas such as Game Design and Art, Game Development and Animation are invited to participate in a week of events hosted my sponsors as well as take part in the final event, the Game jam. This event has a specific focus on bringing students and gaming industry professionals together in a space where they can network through mentor schemes and make career connections from a variety of events hosted. Alongside this, there is also an opportunity for companies to view CVs, portfolios and distribute recruitment media!
Countdown week: This is the run-up week to the game jam. This week will consist of a multitude of events from sponsors, which include events such as: skills workshops, Q&A’s, product/app demos and more! This countdown week is available to anyone that has an interest in gaming or the tech industry. So feel free to come along! Countdown week runs from Monday 20th February to Friday 24th February
Game jam: This is the main event of our hackathon. Teams will be given the choice of multiple Secret Challenges to pick from, provided by us and sponsors. You’ll then have 48 hours to create a game that will be judged by a panel of industry professionals. Upon completion of this project, you’ll receive a certificate that will look awesome on your CV!
You’ll have from 5pm on Friday the 24th of February to 5pm on Sunday the 26th of February to design, create and submit you games.
