Learn some Hints, Tips, & Cheat Codes for Running a Game Jam at your library on next week’s
NCompass Live webinar, on Wednesday, November 10 at 10am CT.
Game design and creation offers patrons of all skill levels and interests a gateway to technology education, social connections, and the joy of play. Game jam events offer budding game developers a cooperative event setting to test their skills against a common theme and a hard time-limit. By offering patrons space, support, and the team building structure of a game jam, libraries can link the game dev community to programming and build their game collection. In this lecture you’ll be introduced to the practicals of running game jam events, and tips for success. We’ll cover in-person event prep, entirely-remote or online events, and how to merge the two offerings to expand accessibility.
Presenter: Charles Fisher,
Creative Production Lab Supervisor, Dr. C.C. and Mabel L. Criss Library, University of Nebraska at Omaha.
