Global Game Jam: For four years running, Miami’s Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies has, with its partners, hosted Ohio’s first and largest site for the Global Game Jam. The Global Game Jam is an annual event in which participants design and create digital and non-digital games over the course of one weekend — spread out over the world, but sharing their games for the world to play. At each site, participants gather to develop ideas, form small groups, create new, creative, innovative games, and present them to their peers and the global community, all in a limited time span. In the course of a single weekend, the GGJ featured teams in 44 countries, who over the course of one weekend created over 1,500 games. While the Global Game Jam is the largest event of this type at Miami, other smaller jams are also run.  Join the VGDC or IGDA to hear about these student organized jams.
