About this event

Science & Tech • High Tech

Game Jams are exciting and interactive events where people come together and form small teams to devise a game which helps people learn or solve a problem.

This is a fantastic opportunity to see behind the scenes into the world of tech, coding, and even careers in games, led by facilitators from University of Glasgow and Education Evolved.

It's not just about developing a game, it is about thinking through a problem that could allow a game to be built. This can be a digital game, a board game, or even just a game that could be played by a group of people.
