I am hoping there could be a new Category for things like Game Jams and Coding Challenges so people who host these things can have their own place where everybody can see their posts and participate in them, but with their own space, so #resources:community-resources isn’t filled with Challenges or Jams. Something like #resources:coding-challenges would be good.

I am skeptical that there is enough demand for an entire category dedicated to just this.

I see what you mean, but there have been some posts like this, and I have seen posts on #forum-feedback regarding Jams and Coding Challenges.
I have only ever seen one person do coding challenges and that is my boy @starmaq, if we do get a category he will be the only one posting there 
And also if we did then it would also get ruined by very basic challenges like Coding challenge: print "Hello World"
Trust me it will happen. The only requirement seems to be that an answer is provided so that it still has the nature of a tutorial.

But doesn’t every category get posts like this, except the posts fit the category they’re in?
i know the answer to the challenge its print(hello world) right?

So uh based on some posts I seen before some of these people who do game jams are really just looking for free development to use in there game. (The people who don’t understand what game jams are). I know there are some people who do genuine game jams though.
Also Idk if your being sarcastic lol but there’s multiple answers print 'hello world' and print "hello world" and print('hello world') and print ("hello world")
What if Roblox made a category where you could put game jams?
I think this would be great, as we could see new great content come out from these game jams.
What do you think?

Ultra-specific categories like these that already overlap with #help-and-feedback:cool-creations will release a rabbit hole of suggestions for more subcategories. Additionally, it isn’t like there is a huge amount of people doing game jams throughout the year; mainly during RDC.

This would be a pretty useless category with not many people using it. If your looking for teammates for a game jam or are hosting one you could just make a post in #bulletin-board or #collaboration:recruitment

Roblox does game jams or just challenges in general every once in a while. Like right know, DevRel is hosting the same game jam for the Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking communities.
And I don’t see a game jam going out that often anyway. Too niche imo.

There would probably be more people making and participating in jams if there was a category.
