What is this GameJam about?

GameJam 2008 is a competition where groups of developers try to implement in a short time, within less than 2 days, a game aimed to kids from 6 to 14 years old, to be used in a educational context. At the end of the competition there will be an evaluation comitee, established with children and by the Professor Léa Fagundes. They will elect the best development project based in the fun level of the application.

GameJam Goal

GameJam's goal is to arouse interest in developing games to the XO OLPC laptop platform, in such way that the number of developers for this platform can grow and new applications to support the project's purpose may arise to be developed.

Everybody is invited to apply to the GameJam 2008 and contribute to the community's growing engaging in research and development of this project, whose proposal is to revolutionize education in developing countries, by offering a low-cost tool to be used in the process of teaching and learning and the process of digital inclusion.

By using this tool, we aim to offer easier access to learners of the digital world, in which they can find resources for learning, such as educational content and supporting tools for creation and collaboration.
