  • APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2025 SUMMER GAME DESIGN INTERNSHIP ARE CLOSED

    2025 Summer Game Design Internship Program

    This is a summer program where interns develop games as part of IndieCade's Climate Jam. The standard schedule is 7 weeks long: 1 week of orientation and teambuilding, 5 weeks of jam participation, and 1 week of game reviews and wrap-up.

    • June 6th – Orientation and Teambuilding Begins
    • June 13th – Climate Jam Begins
    • July 18th – Climate Jam Ends / Game Ranking Begins
    • July 28th – Standard Internship Ends

    The Game Design internship is available to students from schools participating in IndieCade Horizons, our Academic Partners, and IndieCade members with Student level memberships. If you are unsure of your eligibility, you are encouraged to apply now and we will confirm your status when we review your application.

  • Internship Extension: Climate Jam Game Bundle
    This is an extended, 11 week version of the Game Design internship program.

    These interns will participate in the standard program and also spend 4 additional weeks helping IndieCade package some of the games into a releasable bundle for Steam.

    This extended internship ends August 22nd. Priority will be given to students who need the additional days/hours to qualify for academic credit from their schools.

    Internship Extension: Climate Jam Community Management
    There is also an option to start the game design internship 1-3 weeks early and help organize the Climate Jam Discord server and communications with jammers. These interns will still participate in the rest of the program.
