Game Jam

April to May 2024

Full Sail’s GameJam is an invitation for students from the 9th year of Elementary School to the 3rd Year of High School so that they can participate and explore the process of creating a digital game.

Individually or in a team of up to 5 students from the same school, participants must create a pitch to present their idea for a digital game and present this idea to convince investors about the viability of producing their ideas. Allow your passion to speak up, in this case, through the gaming world!

FAQs

When and how do I create my group?

You can work individually or in groups with up to 5 participants. You must register individually to the GameJam. Groups will be identified through the project submissions, as students that submit the same link and 500 character paragraph will be configured a group.

Will I have to develop a full game?

No, the objective of this competition is to get participants to create a pitch for a digital game. Of course, the more you can illustrate your ideas, the better, but you don’t need to develop and program a game.

Do I need to record myself in the pitching video?

You don’t need to record yourself in the vídeo, but it is important that your pitch has a clear explanation of your digital game idea.

How will I access my Attendance Certificate?

If you register and do all tasks assigned to participants in the GameJam within the deadlines of the GameJam you will receive an Attendance Certificate, which you will be able to download straight from our digital platform.

Can I participate if my school is not a partner of Full Sail University?

All activities Full Sail University performs in Brazil are exclusive for schools that are partners of the university. If your school is not a partner yet, please ask your teacher or principal to get in contact with Carol Olival through the email colival@fullsail.com.
