The biggest, oldest and boldest of the three Jams, the #GSJam appeals to everyone interested in a design-based approach to change. With its broad appeal, it’s a great place for beginners to learn – or get better at – a whole set of design tools, methods and mindsets, which can be applied to any project.
Or for experienced participants, the unique and optional Deep Jam challenge lets you test your skills against the clock, and against your peers on five continents.
With dozens of Jam locations all over the world, you won’t have to look – or even travel – far to find a Jam site. Or why not start your own? Just pick your own dates within the Jam period.* More locations are signing up all the time!
If you want to know more read the rest of this page, or listen to this Podcast (for example about online Jamming) to hear all about it.
* Physical Jams need to fit inside one 48 hour period. They can be shorter than 48 hours, but never longer. Most have actual "work times" totalling around 16 to 24 hours.
Digital or hybrid Jams can add up to 48 hours (most are shorter), but can spread their working time over more days.
