Formal teaching experience is helpful but not necessary; at the last Jam (during which we developed computer games) we had teams with experts and professionals from game development companies, but we also had parent-child teams, a team of college-age siblings, and even a team of high schoolers.

Notes on attending

Formal teaching experience is helpful but not necessary; at the last Jam (during which we developed computer games) we had teams with experts and professionals from game development companies, but we also had parent-child teams, a team of college-age siblings, and even a team of high schoolers. (The college-age brothers won).

We also have a few spots for people who would like to work with multiple teams on a subject they are experienced in. For instance, if you are an artist and would like to be a general resource for teams at the Jam who want art, or if you are a programmer and would like to help all the teams at the Jam with their computers, please contact Bob Chao.

Attendance at the Jam is free. (We are currently working on providing meals for free as well - we will keep you updated, but there is a chance you may have to pack a lunch or two.)
