As in the last Game Jam, which took place in the summer of 2016, ETIC_Algarve will host a maximum of 100 participants with access to all the necessary technology and resources.
And, despite being a moment that will give wings to the creativity of students from various areas of education at the school, such as sound and music, design and, of course, video games, it is a moment open to the public, also aimed at professionals and curious people who share this fascination for creating innovative content.
This event will also start with the participation of Isaque Sanches as a speaker in a masterclass on the theme of exploring and creating videogames, maintaining the relaxed and informative spirit of the well-known “Conversas com Lábia”.
