Welcome to Girls Got Game
Girls Got Game is an international online game jam designed to empower girls and nonbinary youths ages 13–18 to explore creativity and coding through game development. Whether you're new to games or already creating, we are excited to help you grow your skills and have fun doing it! This is a beginner-friendly event and we will be offering workshops and a supportive space to build and share your own game.

What is a Game Jam?
A game jam is a fun event where people come together to make games based on a surprise theme (ex: “light and shadow”) which we will announce at the beginning. You don’t need experience, just creativity and a willingness to try! Over a few days, you’ll design and build a simple game (on your own or with a team), and then share it with others at the end.
