Hey folks!

We are super excited to announce that we will be hosting a very special game jam for Women’s History Month in partnership with Code Ninjas and Girls Who Code!

The theme for this jam is Women who have impacted your life. Your game could include a famous woman from history, someone you know personally, or even an original character you create!

For full details, rules, and submission guidelines, check out the official site here

This jam will run for the entire month of March, As always, we will be picking winners at the end of the jam and their games will be featured on the MakeCode Arcade homepage. You’ll also get an exclusive badge for your forum account!

Additionally, if you are under 16 you can also submit your game to the Code Ninjas site for a chance to be entered to win some cool prizes!

Alright, happy coding! We can’t wait to play your games!

Would exploding planes or factories be ok as long as I keep it PG? (Doing a night witches game)
Also, I think I’m sticking with a historical one, but @richard said original character. Does that mean we can make up our own character?
