Over the period of winter break, we're hosting a casual “jam” session where each participant will strive to produce one or more submissions for the end of the month for a specific category of learning, in order to practice and demonstrate their skills and build a portfolio ready piece. The four categories of learning are game development, programming, art, and sound. 

Game Development

In the game development category,  participants will be tasked with generating and completing a game idea of their choice over the course of the jam.  Participants may choose to group with other people or participate alone for this section of the jam.

Programming

In the programming category, participants will be tasked with completing a mechanic  or tool associated with the theme.  Demonstrate your ability to create systems for the use in game development.

Art

In the art category, participants will be tasked with completing one or more submissions that demonstrate their art skills.  2D submissions can be in any form (sketch, painting, photograph, digital), as long as it relates to the theme.  3D submissions should be a rendered model or scene based on the theme.

Sound

In the sound category, participants will be tasked with completing an auditory piece based on the theme.  For musical artists, create a composition related to the theme of the jam.  For non-musical artists, create an ambience clip or set of SFX clips related to the theme.
