Digital CreativityThe Digital Creativity Axis of the CREAT Chair, headed by Laureline Chiapello, organized a game jam from May 31 to June 4, 2024. A game jam is an event where video game creators come together to develop games within a limited time, typically around a specific theme.
This 72-hour event was targeted at students and provided them with mentoring throughout the game development process. Participants also received feedback on their finished games from professionals in the gaming industry.
