SPARK Game Jam is back for Fall 2017 and we’re more excited than ever to announce our winners!

To start, this year’s event highlighted invention and problem solving through a very special collaboration with the Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation! We’re thrilled to work with the Smithsonian to teach students the tools and skills that they’ll need to be the inventors of the future and to let them compete through coding, problem-solving, and innovation.

This year’s Game Jam will was on November 8th and 9th at the Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus and was hosted by Gilbert, Arizona and the ASU Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering.  It was a beginner-level event where students used Scratch from MIT to create games and apps that center around the theme “Invention and Eats”. All the students received a “Will Code for Food” t-shirt and some goodies and we saw some really amazing games from a huge number of junior high and high school students.

Check out the winners!
