This event is known as the world's largest student-run game jam. Students from universities across the country will create video games from the ground up over a 48-hour period. Students can also interact with industry professionals who will be on hand to serve as mentors.

During Invent for the Planet (https://engineering.tamu.edu/student-life/aggies-invent/events/invent-for-the-planet/index.html) (IFTP), we tackle some of the world's biggest challenges, such as environmental affairs, energy solutions, improving developing nations and resource equity. Each participating university organizes a local Invent for the Planet weekend which follows our Aggies Invent (https://engineering.tamu.edu/student-life/aggies-invent/index.html) format — teams are formed based on similar interests in a need statement. The teams research the topic, build a simple prototype, and on the final day, put together a video and present their solutions to a panel of judges. Three teams from each local event are selected for first, second and third place prizes, with the opportunity to go onto the second round and compete for the world title.Stay tuned for a registration link to join Invent for the Planet 2025.

Counselor Connect offers Texas A&M University students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the counseling process and resources within University Health Services. Students can pick from various activities to participate in while interacting with counselors, creating an informal and laid-back environment. During these 15-minute sessions, students will learn strategies for self-care that can improve any area in their lives! Counselor Connect aims to reduce the stigma around mental health and create a safe space on campus for connection. Although this is NOT an individual counseling session, this is an opportunity to engage with a mental health professional and discuss strategies for self-care in order to give you the tools to achieve your academic goals. By attending the Counselor Connect event, students acknowledge that University Health Services cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the conversations that occur during each event.
