TWU's Game Jam is back! Gr. 10 to 12 students are invited to a weekend game-making bootcamp, March 3­–5

Ever wanted to make your own video game? Here’s your chance! Trinity Western University is calling high-school artists, programmers, composers, and game designers to come and learn how to make video games during a 48-hour Game Jam, March 3–5.

Join us at TWU’s Game Jam—a short, intense challenge to create wild, wacky, experimental video games in just 48 hours. No experience is required. The game-making event runs from March 3–5, beginning on Friday night and wrapping up on Sunday evening with a showcase of student creations and a pizza dinner.

“We're looking for students who are excited about art, programming, composition, or game design to work as a small team on an intense, fun, experimental project,” says Dr. Kevin Schut, who founded TWU’s Game Development program in June 2019.
