The Game Jam allows the teams that have progressed from the Hackathon stage to develop their ideas to the prototype stage, and then a judgment will be made about the suitability to progress towards the Challenges phase of the project where the prototype will undergo evaluation.
The teams will work intensively over the 2 days and will be supported by coaches and experts in pain management. In addition, to inspire creativity, there will be a parallel Comic Jam, in which students from Teesside University’s BA Comics, Graphic Novels & Sequential Art will work on the idea of pain management to create novel graphics.
