We're looking for local kids to serve as judges for the Game Jam - the following is the email we're using to send to teachers and parents. If you know any, please pass this along.<br><br>---<br><br>Thanks for helping us find judges for the Game Jam! (
<a href="http://hackronym.com/olpc/gamejam/index.html">http://hackronym.com/olpc/gamejam/index.html</a>)<br><br>What's happening:<br><br>Next weekend, a whole bunch of programmers, musicians, teachers, writers, and game designers are going to be making computer games for the XO, an open-source laptop that's going to be given to kids in classrooms all over the world.
<br><br>They'll be making their games in less than 44 hours and giving a big demo on Sunday afternoon - we'll have lots of computers in a room with the games running on them, and the developers who made the games will be right there to answer questions and maybe even code your suggestions into the game right then and there.
<br><br>What we need:<br><br>Since the games are being designed for kids, we need kids (target range is preschool to middle school, although older and younger is ok too!) to serve as official event judges and tell us which games they like best. Judging will take place from 3:30-5:30 on Sunday afternoon, June 10 at Olin College (
