Game jam
We organise it
I Game Jam UA
The first one. It began at the University of Alicante, and it is where the oldest photographs the association keeps come from.
University of Alicante · Open to everyone
The science and technology community of the University of Alicante.
Hackathons, game jams, workshops, a rocketry club, a Minecraft server and a place of our own on campus. Since 2018, run by students, for students.
Multitec is a non-profit, multidisciplinary association open to anyone who is into science or technology. The point of it is a community where we share what we know, pass information around and learn new things together.
We are more than a community. Multitec is a family, built on a shared urge to go further both technically and personally. We want to be a meeting point, a bridge between working life and academic life, and a reference for new ways of learning.
There are more than 250 of us right now.
"Don't be afraid of doing it badly. Be afraid of doing nothing at all."
We pass around what we find: job openings, grants, calls and science and technology news, in the members’ groups and on social media.
We run Gamejam Alicante, the Cienciathon and workshops all year, and we take part in DevFest, NASA Space Apps and the UA’s own days. Members see them from the inside, as staff.
A rocketry club, 3D printing, Arduino and robotics, the Minecraft server, this very website. If you have an idea, put it on the table: there are 250-plus members to build it with.
We run some of the longest-standing tech events in Alicante and work with the people who make them possible: the University, the Science Park and the city’s communities.
48 hours to build a video game from nothing, as a team. The longest-running game jam in the province, at the UA Science Park.
A science hackathon with the Alicante Science Park: real challenges from companies and research groups, solved over a weekend.
Programming from scratch, 3D printing, AI on your own machine, Google’s cloud. Free for members and nearly always open to everyone.
We share a home with Google Developer Group Alicante: a talk every month and DevFest, the annual gathering with hundreds of attendees.
The Multiacampada, the Multifiesta, padel tournaments and LAN nights. The part that never fits on a CV and is the part people remember.
What is coming and what we already did, in order. Drag the wheel to travel the calendar.

A members’ space at the University of Alicante halls of residence, next to the Aulario II bus stop: to study, build things, play and meet up.
It opens for members; opening notices go out through the association’s groups.
One fee a year, the board signs you up and you are in: the place, your @multitecua.com account, the groups, the server and everything we do this year.
12 €a year
Being a Multitec member does not end with the card. You get a private portal that gathers, in one place, the association's services and your own details: your record, your fee, your accesses and whatever the community has been up to.
For every member
Your board. The first thing you see when you go in is your own record: your member number and the day your fee is paid up to.
Sign in with your @multitecua.com account, the same one as your mail. There is no new password to remember.
Board members only
The same portal holds a second board, kept for whoever is on the committee. It has what running the association day to day actually takes.
If you are not on the committee it will not open. Your account decides that, not the link.
