The jam is open to people of all skill levels, newcomers are always welcome and we will ensure that everyone finds a team to join that fits your skills and interests. Experienced mentors will be available throughout the weekend to help answer questions about game development tools, engines, and principles along with climate change researchers who will be there to answer your scientific questions.
