Thank you all for joining the Get Along, Jammit Jam with iThrive Games, RPI, Tech Valley Center of Gravity, QuestStar III, and AT&T.

Cooperation means working with others to achieve shared goals and benefit everyone. Humans can be selfish and competitive, sure, but it’s more instinctual for us to cooperate. Some game developers have leveraged the power of cooperation to tackle huge challenges, like in Foldit and Sea Hero Quest, which transform individual “work” into big data to fight disease and push forward scientific knowledge.  This weekend you will be creating games that are your own expression of what cooperation  means for you in a game. 

Your playable cooperation prototype games and microgames for PC may be selected to be featured on the iThrive Games website and/or used for research!
