We're Looking For A Few Good Game Developers!

Program Dates: June 11th - August 10th, 2012
Where: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA

Local Area Applications Accepted: January 9th, 2012 - February 27, 2012

GAMBIT's Summer Program is a nine week, full time, intensive game development experience. Students from Singapore join students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to create video games at the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Development teams are composed entirely of student interns, who are responsible for all aspects of the project -- production to programming, game design and art, music and sound, and of course, thorough testing to create a robust, engaging game.

    Eligibility Requirements
  • You must be a current college undergraduate; however, those graduating in the academic year 2011 - 2012 are still eligible to apply for our 2012 summer program.
  • Your home institution must be within 50 miles of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to be eligible to apply.
  • Please note that when selecting our local interns, the GAMBIT program strongly favors those students who have worked with us during the school year.

More info about the summer program can be found at our application site.

Friday Games @ GAMBIT - Spacewar!

This week's Friday Games @ GAMBIT is being folded into the Spacewar! event, also being organized by our lab.

Today beginning at 5PM at the MIT Museum you can play a new version of Spacewar! built by our lab on a giant mockup of the PDP-1 monitor made especially for the 50th anniversary. At 6:30 there will be a panel featuring one of the creators of the original game, Martin "Shag" Graetz as well as two members of the PDP-1 Restoration Project, Eric Smith and Mike Chiponis.

"We Mock So They Can Play"

Everyone has that one game, you know the game...The one game that everyone loves
but you despise. Well, here at The Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab we are
channeling all of that rage into one super fun entertaining event: The First
Annual Crappy Game Complaining Marathon to benefit our local Boys and Girls
Club Cambridge Clubhouse!

http://cgcmarathon.org/

On Saturday February 18th from noon till midnight, Boston-area independent game
developers and our own GAMBIT staff will lash out publicly at the very games
they secretly (or not so secretly) loathe. From "Super Mario Galaxy on Wii" to
"Half-Life 2", watch and revel in the mockery on UStream, while donating to your
favorite team
as each $2,500 we raise funds one program at the Boys and Girls
Club for a year! This year's goal is to fund three programs. ET4.jpeg

That's Saturday, February 18th from noon until midnight. Watch online and donate
