The UNITE Summer Program @ MAGIC will focus on Animation & Video Game Development, starting on June 12th for the period of four weeks. Participants will explore daily tech making and bursts in creativity when animating a character using Autodesk® Maya® for an original story, or simulating martial arts movements for a video game through available motion capture technology. The state of the art facilities at MAGIC and cutting edge technology allows students to dream, create and learn. Our instructors include highly respected tech educators, accomplished artists, and industry professionals who have a passion for sharing their knowledge. Each course is taught by one of our lead instructors with the support of teaching assistants, ensuring that our student-to-staff ratios stay low and that learning is a personalized experience. The academic program is project based; focusing the first two weeks on Animation, then moving to Video Game Design. Students will have the opportunity to complete a portfolio of their own animation and gaming simulations. The UNITE Summer Program has been funded by The Army Educational Outreach Program, with no cost to participants.
