67GameJam / Berlin
1 April 2016 @ 20:00 — 3 April 2016 @ 23:00
FreeYou want a game designer challenge?
Here you go: Lets create educational games for kids in South Africa!
We will start on Friday (1.April) at 8pm at co.up with a short intro – until midnight we build teams and ideas and afterwards it is up to us if we stay in the location the whole weekend or spread out to jam at our cosy homes.
This game jam is part of the international 67games and the 67GameJam
“The 67gameJam is a game jam centered around the #67games mission. This is an opportunity for the 67games squad (game designers, developers and artists) who have pledged (and yet to pledge) to come together in their respective locations and start exploring a game theme of their choice. Ultimately, we hope that at the end of the jam, each team will have a prototype to showcase to other squad members. Remember, this is for the kids. It should be children friendly and educational. We have no hard limits other than those two.
The 67gamesJam will be taking place from 1-3 April 2016. We hope that the squad will have a lot of fun over this weekend. We also hope for something more, we hope that squad members will come together and use their talents and creativity to make games that will truly serve as a medium for learning.
As stated in our mission: we believe that well curated games can be used as complementary learning tools. We have made a commitment to collect 67 educational games that will be distributed to under-resourced primary schools around South Africa. Please note that all the games will be under the creative commons license, making them open source.
