We continue our GGJ Next journey as we speak to site organizers from around the world about hosting Global Game Jam's annual youth jam for kids from ages 10-18. Hear it all, from the benefits to the challenges (and how to overcome them).
Learn about how GGJ Next has partnered with Games for Change as the jam partner for the G4C Student Challenge to bring the challenge global. Experienced GGJ Next site organizers will share their jam stories (including how to run your own site) and reflect on the impact they've seen GGJNs have in their communities.
