Upcoming Student Events Exciting things are happening for the G4C Student Challenge this March - including our final National Game Jam of this year on March 12th! Game Jams are free, virtual events where students rapidly prototype their own digital games about social impact theme topics they care about, with support from professional game designers. This Jam's Theme? Voice of a New Generation. Supported by The New Georgia Project, this topic is about tackling voter suppression and the importance of the youth vote.  The Details: All students grades 5-12 can tune in for free. No prior experience with game design is required. Newbies are welcome! Attendees will learn how to make games, collaborate with others from across the country, and explore civic engagement.

The experience features Nobel Peace laureates Malala Yousafzai, Wangari Maathai, Dalai Lama, and Fridtjof Nansen to help young people learn that peace is achieved through actions, big and small. G4C helped to create an accompanying curriculum to use in conjunction with the experience. Active Citizen is available for all Minecraft: Education Edition users and soon as a free demo.
