PSNC as patron of Game Jam ZS 6

Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center took the patronage over Game Jam ZS 6 – an event which combines the knowledge acquired at school with its practical use with the support of project management tools and methodology. The event will take place on October 2 and 3 in Jastrzębie Zdroj, and one of the jurors will be Zbigniew Karwasiński from the PSNC School of the Future Laboratory.

The aim of the event is to show the young people from ZS6 school how to cooperate with each other to obtain a satisfactory result, how to organize work using solutions for work organization. The event is open to all ZS6 students who would like to create their own game. Game Jam enables the creation of substantive and practical groups to enhance young people’s organized cooperation.

Young game designers will work together over the weekend with the support of mentors/juries. Then the games will be made available to the jury who will test and evaluate the outcomes in 4 categories:
● creative approach to the topic
● gameplay
● graphic design and atmosphere
● innovation aspect – how much it stands out from other, popular titles.

Let us remind you that PSNC undertakes a number of activities in the field of education. Currently, at the request of the Ministry of Development and Technology, PSNC together with Software Development Academy implements the AI for Youth project, which aims to develop the competences of secondary school students in the field of artificial intelligence. Recruitment for this project lasts until October 17, 2021.
