Moveable Game Jams for Kids: Coding for Social Change
The Moveable Game Jam initiative was a series of student game jams in the New York City area led by Games for Change, as part of its Student Challenge. The Hive Digital Media Learning Fund at the New York Community Trust supported the game jams, and it took place at different locations—hence, moveable. Session partners included the Institute of Play, the SpazeCraft, CoderDojoNYC, Global Kids, Museum of the Moving Image and Mouse. Themes included Future Communities, Climate Change, and Local Stories and Immigrant Voices. Each session was documented onto the Moveable Game Jam Curriculum Guide. The document is an excellent resource for anyone who replicates a game jam afterschool, or in a classroom. This workshop is hands-on, and the Guide will be shared with all.
