Welcome to Campfire Bengaluru — a 24-hour, teen-only game jam hackathon happening on February 28 – March 1, 2026, at Newton School of Technology, Bengaluru. Organised by a student-led team under Hack Club, Campfire Bengaluru is part of Hack Club's global Campfire series, where students in 100+ cities and 20+ countries build and ship playable games on the same weekend.Campfire is not your typical hackathon. The focus is on creativity, learning, and community — not corporate pitches or VC decks. We bring together high-school students who love games, tech, art, music, or storytelling, and give them 24 hours to build something fun, imperfect, and theirs. Whether you've never written a line of code or you're already shipping projects on GitHub, Campfire Bengaluru is for you.What makes Campfire Bengaluru different:• Teen-only and beginner-friendly — no intimidating environments, just peers building together• Panel Stage — a casual, honest conversation with engineers, founders, game devs, and creators. Real stories. Real Q&A. No slides.• Workshops on Godot, Unity, Unreal, and other beginner-friendly game dev tools• Part of Hack Club's global Campfire series — you're not alone, you're part of a worldwide moment• Experimentation over seriousness — ship a game, learn fast, and have funEVENT SCHEDULEDay 1 – Saturday, February 28, 2026 (Evening Start)4:00 PM – Registration & Welcome4:30 PM – Opening Ceremony & Team Formation5:00 PM – Panel Stage (Guest Speakers & Panelists)6:00 PM – Workshops (Godot, Unity, Unreal & Beginner Tools)8:00 PM – Hacking Begins + DinnerOvernight – Open coding session with mentors availableDay 2 – Sunday, March 1, 202610:00 AM – Hacking continues (breakfast served)1:00 PM – Lunch2:00 PM – Submission Deadline2:30 PM – Game Demos & Peer Voting4:00 PM – Judging & Award Deliberation5:00 PM – Awards Ceremony & ClosingVenue: Newton School of Technology, BengaluruOrganized by: Hack Club Bengaluru ChapterOpen to: Students under 18 (U18)
