Hackathon aimed at first timers, girls and women at The Arts Center

River Jam is a free, introductory game making “hackathon” for girls and women at The Arts Center, and is part of the #include series. The first event takes place June 20.

You can work alone or with others to make your idea for a game or app come to life in 48 hours with no previous technical background necessary (this is aimed at first timers after all). They will have experienced mentors available for help.

River Jam is a free, introductory “learn to make a game in 48 hours” event that is geared primarily toward people that have never made a game before, especially girls and women that have an idea for a game or app and want some help figuring out how to bring it to life. No technical background is required in order to participate, and we will have professional mentors on hand to help guide participants.
