Participation in THE LÄND Global Game Jam is free of charge for everyone.
Students from Baden-Württemberg who live at least 30 km away from Karlsruhe will receive a grant of up to 40 euros for travel or accommodation costs incurred.
For all our Karlshochschule students: Not only coders are in demand, students from other disciplines also need a game team: communication, psychology, politics, digital media, etc. So take advantage of this unique opportunity at the Karls and join us! If you have any further questions about the program and registration, you can also contact Lisa Wiedemann directly at lwiedemann@karlshochschule.org. Whether you have previous knowledge of coding or are simply interested in taking part – we look forward to seeing you and your participation!
THE LÄND Global Game Jam is coordinated by MFG Baden-Württemberg as part of its Games BW program in partnership with Karlshochschule International University, SWR Südwestrundfunk, the Baden-Württemberg Game Association and K³ – the cultural and creative industries office in Karlsruhe. The Game Jam is sponsored by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
