International Game Developers Association (IGDA) Game Jams
Apps for Healthy Kids partner IGDA hosted a series of game jams May 21-23 (Friday - Sunday) to bring together game developers and local youth and adults to work collaboratively and intensively for 48 hours to produce game prototypes from scratch. The game jams organized by IGDA were sponsored by the Games for Health Project in conjunction with the Health Games Research national program, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Pioneer Portfolio. Game jams were held in Boston MA (Microsoft New England Research and Development), Seattle WA (The Art Institute), Orlando FL (ZeeGee Games), San Francisco CA (Google campus), Pittsburgh PA (Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University), Troy NY (Troy Boys and Girls Club), Fairfax VA (George Mason University), and Athens GA (Mowerks Learning).
