Coding event for high schoolers
Organized by Teenagers in Springfield, Missouri
Taking place at O’Reilly Enterprise Center, Drury University!
What is Daydream Missouri? 
This fall we invite you to join us for Daydream, the world's biggest game jam happening simultaneously in 100 cities, hosted by Hack Club. And there's one being hosted right in Springfield Missouri, welcoming everyone around the area.
This two day coding event invites you and your friends to come, compete, and create your own original game for cool prizes! Food and snacks are provided!
Don't consider yourself a game dev? No problem - we have tons of workshops for guiding you to make your first game!
On September 27th and 28th, come to Drury University to learn something new, make something you're really proud of, meet new friends, and go on an incredible adventure together.
What will you 
You can make any game you want as long as it can be deployed on itch.io! All games made must be deployed and available online for other participants to play and experience. We will only accept itch.io submission links.
Here are some cool projects from past hackathons to get you inspired:
- • Remedy Renemyby Tongyu and Kai Ling
- • Not an Idle by Armand
- • SPEEDTICKERS by Agustin & Juan
We'll have workshops and activities before Daydream to help you learn game development using Godot!
