The 2022 Sim & Game Creation Camp will provide the opportunity for you to explore hands-on graphics creation through activities using 3D modeling and animation technologies. These are used to create animation for films and games. The camp features state-of-the-art computers and equipment and gives you the chance to try your hand with these new technologies. In addition, you will have the chance to meet other young animators from the area who share your interests and work together to develop some really cool projects.

3D and Virtual Reality!

The Sim and Game Camp will also provide the opportunity for you to explore hands-on 3D and Virtual Reality through activities using the HTC Vive , Oculus Quest, and other technologies used in the creation of these new worlds.
