Design Innovation Hub

The Animation Game Design Program and the Animation and Game Design Club is hosting a site for the 2025 Global Game Jam site at 's Design Innovation Hub. Global Game Jam is a worldwide, annual event that takes place over the course of one weekend. Participants, “Jammers,” will form teams and will be given a prompt. Jammers will use this prompt for designing and building their own game: 2D, 3D, digital, tabletop, alternative controller, even combos of all of the above!

Global Game Jam is open to anyone regardless of skill level and is a good way to build a creative community. Jammers, from amateur to industry level, come together at each site location to create new exciting games and then showcase them to the world. This year's Global Game Jam site at Kent State will be open between Jan 26 - 28. All college students in the region are welcome to participate!

Register, and come join in the fun of making games with students as well as upcoming developers! This event will encourage jammers to challenge themselves and help drive their creativity to reach new limits. The Kent State Global Game Jam site will be a great place to learn, design, and network with individuals who are passionate about digital media, software development, and visual design.
