How will new technologies change our work and our daily lives? What are the challenges for a future oriented use of resources? These and other questions will be addressed at FUTUR 21 Game Jam!
FUTUR 21 is a cooperative project of the Regional Associations Rheinland (LVR), Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) and Cologne Game Lab on occasion of the 75. anniversary of North Rhine-Westphalia. FUTUR 21 will create interdisciplinary laboratories of the future, where industrial culture, cutting edge technology and research, and visual arts will merge. The results will be showcased next year in March.
The team of FUTUR 21 and the Cologne Game Lab invited interested students to develop first prototypes for a mixed reality game especially focusing on the future of energy on the weekend of 28 – 30 May 2021. The best idea will be commissioned for production and presented at Hendrichs Drop Forge in Solingen, in time for the festival in March 2022.
Besides this, exciting prizes await the most innovative and convincing teams:
1st Place: 500€ + funded commission
