[[ILXO]] and [[IMSA]] are hosting a Chicagoland summer Game Jam. The Jam will last for 3 days, with brainstorming and introductions on the first day, drop in talks and possibly t-shirt silkscreening on the second day, and testing/judging on the third day. We will provide food, workspace, and XOs; you should bring yourself and ideally something to write code on. We would also love to have kids who can come in and judge games on the last day (Sunday, August 10 from about 4:30pm-6:00pm). |

The first day will run from 4:00pm-8:00pm, the second day will run from 9:00am-8:00pm, and the third day will run from 9:00am-6:00pm. The event will be hosted at the Illinois Math and Science Academy in Aurora, IL. |

An [[Jams|OLPC Jam]] is a content creation crunch that gets participants from idea to reality in just a few days. By the end of the Jam, you'll have something finished to test with local schoolchildren (who serve as judges for the event). It's a great way to get started developing for OLPC. Click [[OLPC Jams|here]] to learn more. |

Please RSVP to office at ilxo.org if you would like to attend. We'll need to know the names of everyone coming (to put you on the let in list), what days you plan to attend, and any dietary restrictions. |
