Girls Learning About Math (GLAM) Games at 1125@Carleton

Bring your laptop, bring your caffeine, and bring your passion for making games!

May 27 to 29 is time for girls to GameJam!

GLAMGames 2016 is a 48-hour event that brings talented female developers, artists and game designers together in teams to make their game ideas into real concepts.

This year’s theme is Girls Learning About Math (GLAM). Teams will be challenged to develop innovative solutions for games/apps that provide creative concepts for Grade 6 to 8 girls to learn/practice math skills. GLAMGames can be anything from 2D-Puzzle to 3D-Video to Strategic Board games!

Participation is FREE!

There will be 48-hour access to the 1125@Carleton living lab space at Carleton University and delicious snacks, meals and coffee will be provided throughout the event. More importantly, it’s a time to have fun with other women and to support girls’ abilities in STEM skills because women are underrepresented in STEM fields.

Let your creativity flow with other women in the gaming-development community!

GLAMGames is women-only in order to promote women in the gaming industry. If you are 18 years or older, female, and have knowledge of some aspect of game development, such as game design, graphic design, industrial design, art, human computer interaction design, information technology design, software design or programming, you are eligible to participate.
