Sponsored by Impact Water and hosted at ASU Learning Futures, the Impact Water Idea Jam 2023 welcomes students of all disciplines to a half-day "jamathon" to generate innovate ideas addressing the Arizona Colorado River water crisis through immersive applications in XR, VR and other creative media. No technical experience is required; this event is all about idea generating. Students of all majors and disciplines are invited to participate.

During this half-day jam, participants will:

• enjoy complimentary lunch
• be introduced to the Arizona Colorado River water crisis facing Arizona residents
• learn about different methods for immersive storytelling, including VR headset experiences, desktop games, theatrical/installation art, and more
• ideating in small, cross-disciplinary teams to generate stories that galvanizing public action towards positively impacting the Arizona Colorado River water crisis. Examples could include: create a 360* immersive film; create a level-based or RPG game in a game engine of your choice; create a role-playing drama that could be performed inside a Metaverse; all creative ideas welcome!

ASU's Decision Theater will offer a semester-long, paid internship opportunity to the top idea(s) to nurture and realize the strongest idea(s) from pitch to real solution.
