Global Game Jam 2013

global game jam 2013

The Global Game Jam will be on January 25-27, 2013 – I applied for site to host a small group here in Central Luzon State University. Hoping that the GGJ people will let us join this world wide cool activity.

About GGJ

The Global Game Jam (GGJ) is the world’s largest game jam event. Think of it as a hackathon focused on game development. It is the growth of an idea that in today’s heavily connected world, we could come together, be creative, share experiences and express ourselves in a multitude of ways using video games – it is very universal. The weekend stirs a global creative buzz in games… while at the same time exploring the process of development, be it programming, iterative design, narrative exploration or artistic expression. It is all condensed into a 48 hour development cycle. Although the event is heavily focused on programming, there are many other areas where people who don’t code can contribute to a game.

Only 1 out of 10 computer science graduates employable – IT experts

I been telling this… most of the graduated IT students who undergo OJT with us, really don’t have the needed knowledge to make it BIG in IT. The curriculum seems not the problem but the students itself along with the non-supporting & accommodating instructors.  I will let the article do the talking…

MANILA – Silicon Valley-trained Filipino software gurus said only 10 percent of information technology or computer science graduates are hireable – a reflection of the sorry state of the country’s IT education.

During the 4th International Outsourcing Summit on Thursday, experts said the Philippines must produce “hireable” graduates so it can get a bigger slice of the entire software development market. Continue reading
