Unreal Editor For Fortnite
Game Design
UEFN Game Jam
Join a fast-paced, collaborative game jam to build a complete game experience in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). Test your skills, learn new techniques, and bring a creative theme to life against the clock.
Ready, set, create! This is not a typical workshop; it's a high-energy, hands-on Game Jam designed for educators and creators. Participants will form teams (or work solo) to plan, design, and build a fully playable game experience inside UEFN based on a secret theme revealed at the event kickoff. You'll use UEFN's powerful landscape and modeling tools, implement game logic with creative devices, and (if you're up for it) dive into the Verse coding language. This event is the ultimate project-based learning experience, forcing rapid problem-solving, team collaboration, and iterative design. At the end of the jam, teams will present their creations for a chance to earn bragging rights and showcase their work!
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Apply rapid prototyping and iterative design principles under a time constraint.
Collaborate effectively with a team to manage a project from concept to playable prototype.
Utilize UEFN's tools (terrain sculpting, asset placement, modeling) to build a custom game level.
Implement game mechanics and logic using creative devices and (optionally) basic Verse scripting.
Practice problem-solving skills to overcome technical and design challenges.
Present and articulate a game's design choices and features to peers.
AUDIENCE
Educators (Grades 6-12 & Post-Secondary), CTE Instructors (Game Design, CS), Esports Coaches, and any creator wanting a hands-on, high-intensity UEFN creation experience.
