A beginner friendly hackathon for future HBCU game creators.

hosted by the Spelman Innovation Lab at Spelman College.

The HBCU Game Jam is a 48 hour hackathon, where participating HBCU student teams will compete for industry-sponsored prizes while building their own video games. The HBCU Game Jam is an opportunity to welcome HBCU students interested in gaming, to the gaming and tech industries, through a fun and supportive event. In February 2023, we invited over 150 HBCU students to the Atlanta University Center to learn about game development, meet industry representatives, and participate in the hackathon.
