A game jam is a timed event (most commonly taking place over a single weekend) where people get together (either in person or over the internet) to work on a game. Some jams are competitions, others are just for fun. The idea is to create a game as quickly as possible in a limited time. Participating in a jam teaches you a lot about collaboration, time management, and how to fail quickly and get back on track when something goes wrong.
These are games I've played a part in developing for game jams over the years.
