Running this game jam helped me improve my presentation skills. The jam required an opening presentation and a closing presentation. In the opening presentation, I had to introduce a small group to the theme and explain what was expected of participants and staff. This was important as I wanted to show that the jam was a safe space to learn new skills, challenge people and have fun. I was able to plan a presentation with PowerPoint for the opening presentation but the closing presentation was less organised. As the closing presentation was based on what players had made during the exam and the voting results I had to present and supply information on the spot.

As I was participating in the jam alongside running it I ended up multitasking a lot. There were mid jam events that I had to host (such as brunch) and times where I had to greet guest judges. This resulted in a couple of animation tasks not being completed but I managed to complete all the basic tasks I took on for the jam.
