Great Lakes Great Games Hackathon

STEMhero and LaunchMKE are teaming up to bring you the Great Lakes Great Games Hackathon. With the Greate Lakes being one of the worlds largest fresh water resource, we felt it was only fitting to take part in changing the impacts that global climate change has on this local resource.Learn more about STEMhero at www.stemhero.org and LaunchMKE at www.launchmilwaukee.com.

What is a Climate Game Jam? Teams gather to rapidly prototype game designs (online, mobile, street, tabletop, or other formats) to teach kids--and lifelong learners--about meaningful responses and solutions to climate change. Participants have roughly 30 hours to create a working climate game prototype. The Jam offers a unique opportunity for educators, students, scientists, game designers, and anyone else who is interested, to work together on climate game prototypes that span a range of platforms, topics, and audiences.
Who can participate? Although having computer skills is helpful, coding and direct game design experience are not necessary. Game designers, developers, and artists are welcome to contribute to games and learn more about climate change and resilience. Even if you have no experience at all, you can still contribute ideas, play-test, and give moral support to your team.
