One Laptop per Child, a non-profit organization with the goal of providing children in developing nations with laptop computers, today announced the first Game Jam on June 8-10. The three-day event will be hosted by Olin College in Needham, Mass. One hundred game developers, educators, authors, musicians, artists, and writers from across the United States will work round-the-clock to create open source games for education in the span of a weekend. All games created will be released under an open license and featured in the Experimental Gameplay Workshop in San Francisco, with the winning team taking home an XO laptop and free passes to the 2008 Game Developer's Conference. Current organizers and attendees include Serious Games Initiative co-founder Ben Sawyer, OLPC's Director of Content SJ Klein, and Boston Game Jam organizer Darius Kazemi.
