In April 2018 we completed our 1st ever MeGa Health Jam, and we were so excited to bring this event to Central Florida and excited that in Fall 2020 this event will return. Our event provides fun challenges, amazing resources and a great opportunity for talent exposure. This is your chance to build something extraordinary using gaming technologies and solving major healthcare related challenges with talented peers from all over Central Florida. Become part of a team or stay a lone wolf.
Everyone is welcome to participate throughout the 48-hour Jam using gaming technologies to bring solutions to healthcare industry challenges. We’re looking for artists, programmers, game designers, UI & UX designers, physicians, sound designers, writers, former patients, poets, interpretive dancers, healthcare administrators, people excited about games, people excited about healthcare, people who like to eat pizza, and people like you. Keep an eye out for more news on our next event and get ready to jam!
Below are a few of the categories teams can form around to create solutions for and tackle.
Food everyday, Working with awesome talented people, working on something impactful, cool, lasting connections & opportunities
