What is a Game Jam?
A Game Jam is a fun challenge where participants create a game within a limited time based on a surprise theme revealed at the start of the event! It’s an exciting way to boost creativity, teamwork, and coding skills while making something amazing. Game Jams are used by Game Studios.
This is a one to two-day event and it’s FREE for students registered in our Summer 2025 session!!
The aim of a Game Jam is to challenge kids to code on their own!
Our first RP4K Game Jam took place over the March 15–16 (2025) weekend.
