Hack ‘n’ Jam is a virtual, Week long, team-based event in which students studying areas such as Game Design and Art, Game Development, and Animation are invited to participate in a week of events hosted by guest speakers as well as take part in the final event, the Game jam.

 

Hack 'N' Jam 2023 had a specific goal of bringing students and game industry professionals together. The aim of the event was to allow students to network with speakers and learn about various topics surrounding game development. 

​

Countdown week (20th-24th February 2023): This was the run-up week to the game jam. This week consisted of a multitude of events from guests, which included events such as: skills workshops, Q&A’s, talks and more! This countdown week was open to anyone that has an interest in gaming or the tech industry! 

 

Game jam (24th-26th February 2023): This was the main event of our hackathon. Teams were given the choice of multiple secret challenges to pick from, provided by ProjectsSet.
