Digital Game Creation Intensive

Digital games are pervasive in today’s society and are rapidly growing in cultural influence. While much of the commercial gaming industry is exclusively focused on entertainment, game creation and play can also serve as a powerful vehicle for learning, exploration, collaboration and self-expression. During this two-week game-creation intensive, students work in collaborative teams to study, design and create interactive digital games within an innovative mixed-reality environment, SMALLab, that has been developed by researchers at ASU’s Arts, Media and Engineering Program. At the end of the intensive, students invite family and friends to SMALLab for an evening of interactive-game play and fun with their new creations. The intensive is lead by an interdisciplinary team of digital media experts from ASU’s Arts, Media and Engineering Program.
