About Game Jam
Biola Game Jam is a lighthearted, competitive event hosted semiannually by Biola University’s Snyder School of Cinema and Media Arts. At Game Jam, students and alumni work together to build a video game in 48 hours. This weekend-long event highlights the diverse talents of the university’s community, encourages professional networking, and showcases the power of games to positively shape the world.
Amilcar commits himself to ensuring Biola’s Game Jam continues for many years to come. He works alongside the Snyder School of Cinema and Media Arts staff to coordinate Game Jam by leading the event planning team every semester. He has experience designing promotional material, managing budgets, and hosting the event.

“My favorite part of Game Jam is what happens when the competition is over. There's a profound sense of achievement and accomplishment that everyone feels, knowing we've worked on something meaningful. There's a strong feeling of community, especially. That's something I aim to capture every time we host Game Jam at Biola.”
