SETI Enlisting Game Developers in the Search for ET

SETI is preparing to use the lure of gaming to recruit new data crunchers to their program. To accomplish this goal, SETI will be hosting a game jam to enlist game developers to create games that will work with the SETI program, combining a gaming atmosphere with the search for extraterrestrial life in our universe. The game jam is the first in a new SETI Institute Initiative to use games to engage the public in real science and the search for life in the universe.
