Events

The G.I. Jam is a multi-weekend event hosted by The Playful Pixel and the University of Waterloo’s Games Institute. The theme for the G.I. Jam is "Learn, Make, Play"; where each of our events are designed to appeal to a wide variety of playful people:

For the Summer 2014 G.I. Jam, we've combined our LEARN and MAKE events into a single weekend of tutorials, talks, and game making madness!

Computer Science alumnus Matei Zaharia comes back to the University of Waterloo to discuss Spark - a single programming model for big data sets - and the industry applications of the most active project in the Apache big data ecosystem.

Congratulations to all of our admitted students for fall 2014! 

We have been anxiously waiting for your arrival and now the school season is finally upon us. Kudos to you and all of your hard work in making it to Waterloo.

To orient you to our campus and help you make those lasting connections, we've put together a variety of sessions and activities to get you set up on the right path for success.

Take a look at our orientation week schedule and make sure to participate!

Representatives from Waterloo will be touring academic fairs and visiting classrooms in various countries over the next 4 months.

Find out when we'll be in your country and connect with one of our travellers to find out about our programs.
