GameCamp! Staff The GameCamp! Summer Camp staff is made up of game industry professionals, college students studying game and digital media development, and former students that work as interns through our achievement model. Our mentor.student ratios are always low and we encourage students to work in teams with industry professionals as well as college mentors. Our goal is to give a realistic experience for what it is like to work on a game and digital media development team. Our staff is trained to educate students about the tools and processes for game development as well as understanding how to develop an effective educational and career track. Achievement Model The achievement model is the system we use to reward student excellence in game development. By giving students increased opportunity and expanded responsibilities to hone their skills at the camps, students gain experience andy can then move on to more advanced curriculum, internships, summer jobs, contract work, and hopefully a job in the video game industry. Advanced GameCamp! students also learn by teaching, acting as mentors to younger or more inexperienced students. The goal is simple. After spending summers at GameCamp! students will be smarter and more prepared for college, will have developed a network of developers, and understand the industry more thoroughly. Ideally, once they are out of college they will have amassed years of experience in and around the game industry giving them a clear advantage over their graduating classmates. |
