Digital Games II - Advanced Projects
In their second year, students are introduced to a simulated workplace environment. They are asked to pitch projects that interest them and perform a deep dive into that field of study.
Second year students largely work independently, interacting with each other and their supervisor to overcome the obstacles they encounter as they work. As part of finding "funding" for their passion projects, they must create advertising materials that "sell" their concept.
As part of their professional development, students are required to track their progress in a shared project management tracker. We meet regularly where they provide updates about their project's successes, challenges, and roadblocks.
The students use a variety of tools, but all projects are created in a digital medium. Our entire classroom has been outfitted by grant money, specifically from the Windsong Group and a CTE Grant from the Nevada Department of Education. All of our students have access to professional quality tools, afforded by these generous grants.

"my ideal bedroom"- a 3d modeling project
In this project, students are tasked to create a fully textured and appropriately lit interior scene of the students ideal bedroom. This project tests the students' ability to visualize, create, texture, and light 3D objects and environments. Students design and model their ideal bedroom in Blender. All assets in the scene are to be original and created by the students. Proper scaling is crucial to maintain realistic portrayal of the room and its' objects.
