"It's about bringing everyone together to support teaching that prepares kids for the real test, which is life," said Mi- chelle Carlson, CEO of Fu- ture Development Group. Because of the move- ment's unique approach, support is pouring in from stakeholder groups.

Hosted by CSU, Chico's Computer Graphics Club and the Computer Anima- tion and Game Develop- ment program, the Global Game Jam connects de- velopers from around the world to design video games around a central theme, kept secret until the start of the event. During the weekend, the students will work together in teams to develop a game from start to finish in just two days. Thousands are expected to participate at other locations, including the Facebook headquarters, MIT and USC. Students may choose to design their games within proposed constraints, such as making the game play- able on an electronic wrist watch, or featuring recog- nizable elements from the developer's hometown.
