The ROM Game Jam has returned for its fourth consecutive year! Participants will be challenged to create digital games that animate the museum's future permanent gallery: Dawn of Life.
Pre-Game Jam Behind the Scenes Workshop
Sunday, Sept. 11. afternoon (likely 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm)
This is a great opportunity to be inspired and learn more about the theme from Dave Rudkins, one of the ROM’s Dawn of Life curators! Visit the Dawn of Life preview gallery, get a behind-the-scenes tour of the collections space, and a chance to ask questions!
We expect to have about 100 participants. Each team can have up to 4 members.
Registration is now closed. The Game Jam committee is going over the applications and get back to teams by Friday, August 26, 2016.
Criteria for choosing teams:
- Motivation of team
- Diversity: The ROM is committed to creating inclusive programming that is accessible and inclusive. Participants who self-identify as women, gender fluid, non-binary, LGBTTIQQ2SA, Indigenous peoples, persons of colour, persons with disabilities and/or the Deaf community are strongly encouraged to apply
- Experience: This is an inclusive Game Jam and we encourage developers of all levels of experience. We aim to have a balance of entry level, student and professional participants and teams.
