​🎲 New here? What's a game jam, and what's GMTK?

​A game jam is a friendly challenge (like hackathon):
everyone gets the same surprise theme, and you have the weekend to make a small game inspired by it — any tool, any style, any experience level. It's not a competition you need to win; it's the fastest, most fun way to make your first (or fiftieth) game.

​GMTK Game Jam is the biggest one hosted in itch.io, run by Game Maker's Toolkit — Mark Brown's hugely popular game design YouTube channel:

​. Tens of thousands of people jam online at the same time.

​Come with a team, find one at the kickoff, or jam solo.

​GameDevelopHer is a free game development school for women, working to increase the number of women in tech roles in Israel's gaming industry. This event is open to everyone. 💜
