Registration for Global Game Jam NEXT
Global Game Jam Next, is a Game Jam organised for people interested in making games (be it videogames, board games, or card games…) who are under 18 years of age. It is basically the younger sibling of the Malta Global Game Jam. This year we're running a small pilot for Global Game Jam Next in Malta organised by the Institute of Digital Games and the Directorate for Learning and Assessment Programmes (Ministry for Education and Employment) for people aged between 12-16 years.
The Global Game Jam Next will be held at the Institute of Digital Games, on Friday, 12th July 2019. It will start at 5pm and go on till approximately 8pm.
This year we teach you the basics of game design and some useful tools to make your game. Specifically, we teach you how to make your game in Gamemaker 2.0.
Parents/Guardians, will participate in some game information workshops, mainly related to the potential benefits associated with playing and designing games, as well as receive information on the trajectories students could take in a game-oriented career. (e.g. what skills and subjects are relevant for working in the game industry, what is the game industry like in Malta, what is it like globally, what can you do with a game-oriented education, etc.)
