Dev Dash

Summer Game Jams on Discord

Dev Dash is a series of four 1-day game jams on Discord for advanced Game Academy students looking to expand their digital game portfolio over the summer. Join any or all! 

Each Dev Dash starts with a unique creative challenge. Students form small teams and spend the day building a prototype to present at the end of the jam, published in their itch.io portfolios.
