[game_edu] GDC 2010 Game Education Summit / Global Game Jam 2010

[Susan Gold]

Everyone I am really excited about the EDU Summit this year. Our theme  
is collaboration and I have some incredible speakers lined up like  
Kellee Santiago from thatvideogamecompany, Miah Slaczka & Marius  
Fahlbusch of Scribblenauts as keynotes. We have a lot planned like a  
Creativity Workshop by Jessica Hammer, I think everyone will find this  
year's GDC super exciting filled with many takeaways for you to bring  
home. Please note that GDC has lowered their prices, which is great  
news. I know it is still a pricey ticket, but the benefits of  
attending are tremendous for any educator or researcher with a passion  
for games. I have to say IMHO this is the best opportunity to learn  
from and meet industry luminaries. They are accessible, open to  
academics and the knowledge gained here is invaluable, we hope to be  
doing another industry lunch.

unveils the summits.

I am just signing up the 100th location for the Global Game Jam. Can  
you imagine, 100 locations will be confirmed on the site? That means  
an estimated 3000+ developers making games in one weekend - probably  
700 some odd new games made. GGJ wants to include everyone, so please,  
if you are sitting on the fence about doing GGJ, contact me and we'll  
talk you down. It will be one of the most exciting game related events  
of the year. To boot, it will bring students and professionals  
together from around the world. We have a lot planned, great keynote  
lined up and many surprises.
