Jan 25-27 – Code your butt off all weekend at the Global Game Jam – co-hosted by TechWorks! and SUNY Broome. https://www.facebook.com/events/305644723390964/
Game themes are announced Friday at 5PM – work in teams all weekend – Teams upload games to international website at 5PM Sunday. At the closing ceremony, teams present their game – what it does, how it was designed, and why folks should give it a spin. Join 500 sites around the world – all working on the same theme.
