Computer Graphics/Digital Arts Program Hosts Game Lab Workshop

The Springfield College computer graphics/digital arts program hosted a free game lab workshop on Saturday, Oct. 22, inside Blake Hall. The program was designed for high school students who have an interest in being a video game designer.

The workshop introduced individuals to video game design experts, and allowed guests the opportunity to experience the field first-hand. Attendees had the chance to witness how video games are made and what it takes to design a video game of their own.

The event included a panel of video game design experts including Pat King, Owner of Woodpenny Studio; Matthew Zanni, Director of Software Engineering at Carousel Industries; and Sarah Como, Game Developer at Disruptor Beam.

Attendees had an opportunity to win an iPad by bringing in their best 3D game character as a concept drawing, digital image, or 3D model.
