inVideogames Jam 2024: 3 days of creativity and innovation in video games for mental health

During 3 days, 170 young people worked in teams to develop and program prototypes, design levels, create art and graphics, and playtest video games.

To give tools and ideas to the participants, Júlia and Lucía, two people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from the Prodis Terrassa Foundation shared their experience. The young people followed the entire intervention with great attention and, throughout the day, approached the girls to ask questions and adjust their proposals with sensitivity and precision.

The teams have worked with the support of mentors and professionals such as Andrea Fontán Abeijón, nurse and psychologist specializing in mental health and serious games at the Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu, and Andrea García López, specialist in mental health from CSMA Ciutat Vella, who have accompanied the participants at each stage of the process and who are members of the Xaxa TECSAM.

On the last day, all the projects were presented and prizes were awarded to the best works in 3 categories and 5 prizes per category: Best Art, Best Design, Best Narrative, Special Mention and Winner. The projects were evaluated by a jury of experts.
