What is GGJ NEXT™?

GGJ NEXT provides both educational opportunities to learn about game development and a yearly jam for young people age 12-17.

The GGJ NEXT jam aims to bring together talented young people within their school and community. It is a unique opportunity for students to learn new STEAM skills, and improve their creative thinking and exploration in a safe space.

The GGJ NEXT jam will happen all over the globe based around a central theme. Over 50 locations worldwide will be hosting 1 to 5 day game jams in the month of July. Now young creators can be a part of the Global Game Jam sensation that’s been going on for over 10 years.
