Global Game Jam: Next

Thank you so much to the wonderful organizers at Global Game Jam for hosting the event GGJ Next, a separate jam for high school students! I had the honor of joining the mentors this year and assisting groups of teenagers with their games over the course of a week. The week before the jam itself, we hosted a number of workshops and speaking engagements to tour students through the world of game development, hoping to gain their interest as a potential future career. These sorts of events are half the fun in my job, and it is a no-brainer to give back to students in the same way I needed that assistance when I was first starting out as a dev. I definitely encourage other developers to participate in future years. For that, feel free to reach out to the president of the Global Game Jam, Kate Edwards, or visit their website: https://ggjnext.org/

We showed them a series of introductory classes into each discipline, including programming, animation, sound, and even suiting up some of them on the mocap stage, in the hopes of igniting interest in and promoting careers in STEM.
