Welcome to EduJam: Art Saves the World!

What is EduJam?

EduJam is a series of educational game jams hosted by Hazy Paw Games Inc. and intended to be an open, community based project. Anyone can participate in these jams, in groups or individually, and multiple submissions are welcome. There is no hard deadline (the current deadline will be extended indefinitely once reached). EduJam and its entries are all part of Hazy Paw's collaborative effort with educators to bring video games, real life, and learning back together, where they belong. Each round of EduJamming will have a suggested theme.

What is Art Saves the World?

Art Saves the World is the first ever EduJam. The intended audience for this particular jam is a demographic that is pretty relevant to most creators: students between the ages of 12 and 18. The theme, Art Saves the World, is as open as it sounds. The creations that are submitted should offer students a glimpse into the real-life applications of creativity, thoughtfulness, and cooperation. And, perhaps most importantly, they should be fun.

Why Art Saves the World?

In the face of what can feel like daunting and overwhelming pressure, isolation, and (frankly) exhaustion, sharing our art can make all the difference. Being a kid is hard, being an adult is harder, and it becomes plain to see that our perspective, and our ability to express it, build upon it, and relate it to the perspectives of others, is more than just something pretty to put on a wall or auction off; it's how art saves the world, and it is needed!

Feel free to contact Hazy Paw Games Inc. with any questions or suggestions. We hope you'll enjoy Art Saves the World, in whatever capacity you choose!
