Hooser consearvation jam - patch with a blue tulip leaf


Join us for a game jam about conservation in the state of Indiana. Leading up to, and through this game jam, we will explore conservation efforts in Indiana, such as protecting and retaining wetlands, and build games that raise awareness of these issues or help players take actions to conserve Hoosier land around their areas. 

Jammers will be introduced to the concept of alternative controllers, and encouraged to use some nonstandard game controllers as part of their design. At the event, several pre-made controller pieces will be available to explore, and should any jammer need it, fabrication lab assistance can be accessed.

  • Early October: talk on Hoosier conservation issues
  • Mid October: talk on sustainable game design (  
     ) + Q&A )
  • Late October:  presentation on alternative controller design
  • November 6th - 8th: game jam
  • Early December: Presentation of games and winners at the MIDWAVE games showcase
