The Maker Jam

The maker jam is a combination of two events: the ''Game Jam'' and the ''MakerCon''. Two opportunities of joining a team competition to build, discuss, and innovate during 48 hours!

• The Game Jam is an event where teams are asked to create a game (in any form) based on a specific topic over a weekend. The Game Jam is an opportunity to learn about a specific topic and to communicate about it. The topic of this year Game Jam will be revealed at the beginning of the event. 
• A minimum of 2 people and a maximum of 4 people are required to from a team. In the case where you do not have any partner, no worries, you will be assigned to a group by the organizers! 
• The MakerCon is an event, where community members present to students a challenge to take up over a weekend. The objective of the MakerCon is to offer an opportunity for makers, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, and the students to meet, and to complete an innovative design.  Throughout the weekend, the participants will work together as a multidisciplinary team to “make” and fabricate a product. 
• In the case of the MakerCon, a minimum of 3 people and a maximum of 5 people are required to from a group. 
• The event will be held throughout the first weekend of March (March 3 at 5 p.m. to March 5 at 4:15 p.m.). Every team will have 48 hours to build their prototype. At the end of the event, each team will have 10 min to present their work to the judges on the last day.
