GGJ NEXT® é um evento anual operado pela Global Game Jam® para servir aos jovens (12-17 anos) que estejam interessados em aprender sobre a criação de video games.

Para 2021 estamos mudando nosso foco para rodar a jam online, apoiando líderes locais para fazerem atividades online e eventos para suas comunidades locais de 26 de Julho a 6 Agosto.

Similar ao evento primário GGJ® em Janeiro todos os anos, GGJ NEXT é feita para estimular colaboração e trabalho em equipe; não é uma competição.

Comitê de Liderança

Além da equipe da GGJ, esse evento acontece com a participação de uma pequena comunidade internacional de voluntários que juntos compartilham nosso conhecimento coletivo de desenvolvimento de jogos. Essa colaboração resulta em um currículo para educadores e pais para trazer o desenvolvimento de jogos às salas de aula, programas extracurriculares, grupos de comunidades e todos os lares ao redor do globo.
