Game Jam at KSU
The Marietta campus of Kennesaw State University has a tradition of hosting "Game Jams", events that are open to students and non-students alike. At a Game Jam, you spend 48 hours straight in an academic building at the Marietta campus developing a game from the ground up.
The Spring 2020 Global Game Jam had over 100 registered participants who created over 20 different games. Additionally, three student teams partnered with Make-a-Wish Georgia to develop a game to inspire those who are battling cancer. You can check out more information about our Game Jams by visiting:
