Program Description

Event Details

The Global Game Jam is an international game development competition. 

Global Game Jam Next! is an annual event organized by the Global Game Jam to serve younger people ages 10-18 interested in learning to create video games.

 The G4C Student Challenge is a game design competition that invites youth to create digital social-impact games and uses their interest in video games to develop coding and digital design skills, as well as problem-solving, collaboration, creativity, and other critical STEAM skills. 

The North Branch Library invites students 13-18 who are interested in making games to register for the jam, and we'll have an open space for jammer to make their games, socialize, and eat snacks from 3 pm - 5 pm Monday - Saturday!
