Put Science into play!

The Scientific Game Jam is a unique science outreach event held across multiple locations in France, Japan, and Canada.

Participants come together to transform the complexity of a research topic into an engaging video game. In each team, participants with skills in programming, graphics, game design, music, and a PhD student collaborate with enthusiasm and curiosity to deliver, in just under 48 hours, a new vision of science: one that invites the world to learn, play, and dream!

The video games created span all research disciplines and serve as a powerful tool for sharing knowledge with a wide audience.
