WILLEMSTAD – On November 14, 2026, Hack Club Curaçao will host the international game jam Haven in Curaçao. The event will take place at Villa Maria, home of the Curaçao Innovation Hub, in Scharloo. The event is being organized with support from the Curaçao Innovation Hub.
Haven is an international Hack Club event that brings young people from different countries together to come up with ideas and develop their own video games. On November 14 and 15, more than 250 game jams will take place in cities around the world, with over 10,000 young people participating. Curaçao is one of the few participating locations in the Caribbean.
During the game jam, participants will have the opportunity to get creative with programming, game development, and technology. Participation is completely free. No previous experience with programming or game development is required. The main focus is on working together, learning new things, and creating something of their own.
Hack Club Curaçao is a local youth community that aims to get young people excited about programming, technology, and creativity. Since the start of the school year, Hack Club Curaçao has been actively working to reach more young people and grow its community. This includes connecting with schools and local businesses and introducing young people to programming and technology.
The event is made possible in part by several sponsors, including CodeCrafters, RemObjects, and XYZ Domains. Hack Club Curaçao is also working together with the Curaçao Innovation Hub to make the event possible on the island.
By organizing Haven, Hack Club Curaçao hopes to show young people in Curaçao what they can achieve with technology and give them the opportunity to bring their own ideas to life.
