Springfield College Hosts Video-game Lab Workshop Oct. 22

SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield College computer graphics/digital arts program will host a free game lab workshop on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. inside Blake Hall. The program is designed for high-school students who have an interest in being a video-game designer.

The workshop will introduce individuals to video-game design experts, and allow guests the opportunity to experience the field first-hand. Attendees will have the chance to witness how video games are made and what it takes to design a video game of their own.

The event will include a panel of video-game design experts, including Pat King, owner of Woodpenny Studio; Matthew Zanni, director of Software Engineering at Carousel Industries; and Sarah Como, game developer at Disruptor Beam.

Attendees will have an opportunity to win an iPad by bringing in their best 3D game character as a concept drawing, digital image, or 3D model and be judged by experts in the field.
