DON'T MISS OUT on the opportunity to hear from, and speak to, someone who has made a living creating video games! During this one-hour conversation, you will hear from Ben Geisler, Principal Engineer at E-Line Media.

This session will introduce students to professional video game development. Mostly it will focus on design and programming but some of the art discipline will be present as well. I can show a previous game creation we made called Noise Paradox, and all of this will be inside Unreal Engine (which is the same toolset used by Fortnite!)

We had 40 students recently had an incredible opportunity to attend the Construction Trade Show at Resch Center and had the chance to visit a Lunda Construction Company job site just outside of New Holstein.

Talk about hands-on experience! These students were able to rotate through three different construction areas, where they got an up-close and personal look at various technical skills used in the field. They got a taste of what it takes to build and create amazing structures.
