Skills Training

GameCamp! strives to educate students about the actual tools used in the game development industry. Last year we had several hands-on tutorials for art and programming software and we are adding even more this summer. Check out the tools section for more information.

Last year we ran tutorials Poser, Photoshop, 3D Studio Max, Python, C++, Acid Music and Audio Software, Powerpoint, Word, and Excel. All of these software packages are used in the game industry and GameCamp! gives students an understanding of how they work in a project development environment.

Students are also educated in the cooperative skills needed for working in a 21st century workforce. These include: brainstorming, research, concensus-building, creative thinking, team participation, leadership, public speaking and presentations.
