Meet the Jam Team
The Melbourne Jam is brought to life by a group of volunteers, collaborators, and mentors passionate about design and community.
What to Expect

Discover the Theme
At the start of the jam, a secret global theme is revealed simultaneously to all participants worldwide. This shared challenge sparks creativity and connects you to jammers across the globe.
Research & Ideate
