Summary
MeeNa Ko, a video game designer and Stockton University instructor, aims to make game design more accessible, emphasizing that coding isn't required to create games. Ko, with experience at Disney and Microsoft, organized Stockton’s first Game Jam, where over 30 students created games in one week around the theme “Prototype Gone Wrong.” The event fostered creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning. Projects ranged from retro-style games like “Warp Route” to art-driven titles like “Finding D.D.” Ko hopes to expand the initiative with regular game jams and possibly host the Global Game Jam, further promoting Stockton’s interdisciplinary Digital Studies program.
