WHY GAME
EXPERIENCE?
Our programs stress hands-on learning and real-world exposure
through team projects conducted under the guidance of industry
professionals. Our learning model builds confidence and team-
work skills as students learn to work together to create something
unique they can call their own.
We build our programs around lifecycle learning, where students
experience the many stages and skills required to develop a
product. Moving through this process, students discover which
roles and activities excite them most, setting the stage for future
career exploration.
“Now I know where I wanna go in life.
It feels like I found my calling.” CAREERS
Lauryn N.

Lead Designer: The lead designer supervises the artistic and creative
approach for the game. They work with artists to specify what needs
to be made, as well as designers to ensure the gameplay matches the
overall vision.
Concept Artist: Concept artists help to develop the visual style of the
game throughout production, and help to give other artists on the
team starting points for their work.
Lead Programmer: The lead programmer manages the software
engineering of the game, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of all
of the games code.
Project Manager: Project managers make sure that the game is
completed on time using the correct resources. They manage

And many more!
