List of hackathons in Albany, United States in 2019

The Global Game Jam® (GGJ) is the world's largest game jam (game creation) event taking place around the world at physical locations. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games– it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games, while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. The GGJ encourages people with all kinds of backgrounds to participate and contribute to this global spread of game development and creativity. Join us at RPI's Russell Sage Labratory this year and meet people and build an entire game in one weekend! Meals will be provided, as will computers– or you can bring your own. Parking is available in North Lot or along Sage Avenue. Please sign up today!
