Time to Strike it Hard!

Signups for random teams will close at 12:00pm on the day the strike begins!

When the school goes on strike, make games until they stop! The Sheridan Strike Jam is a special Game Jam that will take place entirely during the teachers strike, allowing us students to make the most of our free time.

Will we be working for only a few days? Or maybe an entire month? Who knows if the teachers are striking then we are jamming, but lets hope we won't be doing it for too long.

Rules

• The jam will begin as soon as the strike starts, and end on midnight the day before we return to classes.
• There is no specific theme.
• Teams may be any size.
  • If you do not have a team, you have the option to work solo or be assigned to a randomly generated team.
    • Should you chose to be on a random team, your team will be assigned the day that the strike is confirmed.
• Submissions may be digital or physical.

FAQ

Some Tips for Jamming

Don't know where to start? Here are some tips.
