One hour Game Jam
Create a game in one hour. No limitations for technology, all gaming formats allowed.

Accessibility at Jam Spaces
Together we’ll brainstorm how to make our jams as physically-accessible as possible to as many groups of people as possible. In the beginning we’ll look at some examples and then work together to make jams better for everyone!

Workshopping workshop-based courses
In this workshop we will sketch out a course using a field-tested method, suitable for academics and game development educators alike, to create assignments and materials based on a core knowledge analysis to build engaging and efficient courses, both online and offline. The method is partially based on flipped learning.

The “Finnish College Jam” Initiative
This workshop is dedicated to furthering the concept of Finnish College Jam together. FCJ is a week-long event replacing a normal school week, with four days of jamming and one day of playing the created games together. We have already successfully ran this concept twice, and we are now looking to make it bigger and better! Our goal is to find new speakers, gather new schools to join and brainstorm ideas together.

Achieve gamedev nirvana with TIC-80
Are you losing your mind over having to relearn the ever-changing tools of the trade?
Did you lose precious hours of work because your editor crashed?
Do you think drawing one pixel on screen should happen with one line of code?
The answer is TIC-80: A tiny fantasy computer – an open-source software with artificial limitations – made for creating tiny games and demos!
Let’s make the computer draw some stuff on screen, create oldschool visual glitches with inadvertent memory manipulation and maybe, just maybe, achieve Gamedev Nirvana.
You need:
– A potato computer with an internet connection
– Maybe some previous programming experience
– an appreciation for big pixels and reduced color palettes
