Open your eyes, ears, and mind to extended reality in the heart of the tech industry.
Games in Extended Reality is for talented high school students interested in Extended Reality technologies such as Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality.

This hands-on, project-based, cutting-edge program takes students through technical skills, including scripting and coding, interaction design, and game system design. With those skills, students will iteratively craft an immersive interactive experience incorporating feedback and critique from faculty and their peers.
