A “healthy” hackathon: She was on the team that made that awesome technology I love at the MeGa Health Jam!
In April 2018 we completed our 1st ever MeGa Health Jam, we returned in 2022 and we’re so excited to bring this event back to Central Florida in 2024. Our event provides fun challenges, amazing resources and a great opportunity for talent exposure. This is your chance to build something extraordinary using gaming technologies and solving major healthcare related challenges with talented peers from all over. Become part of a team or stay a lone wolf.
Everyone is welcome to participate throughout the 48-hour Jam using gaming technologies to bring solutions to healthcare industry challenges. We’re looking for artists, programmers, game designers, UI & UX designers, physicians, sound designers, writers, former patients, poets, interpretive dancers, healthcare administrators, people excited about games, people excited about healthcare, people
who like to eat pizza, and people like you. Keep an eye out for more news on our next event and get ready to jam!
Our goal is to bring together people from various creative and technical fields to develop solutions using games, VR, AR & interactive experiences that help the healthcare industry (patients, physicians & administrators.) Our dream is that these same individuals discover new products and ways to work together and form lasting relationships. We hope to put the national spotlight on the cross section of these industries and our region and show off the unique combinations of talent & even more, that the outcomes of the event also help promote interest in “STEAM” education to the generations that will carry these concepts into the future.
SO HOW DOES THE EVENT WORK?
THROUGH THE CHAOS OF DEVELOPMENT COMES SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

A special thanks to the founding team that made this event possible
I had a really great time. The event you guys put on continues to be a great way for new people to get into the community and for anyone in the area to meet other local developers. Everyone organizing it helps make it a fun, lighthearted and enjoyable experience.
