Who writes the stories? Who benefits from the stories? Who is missing from the stories? The world is a better place with a diverse range of creators, storytellers, interactive experience designers and programmers at the helm. When you bring real-time 3D development into your classroom, you have the opportunity to expand, develop and broaden the diversity of creators. This session focuses on strategies and resources to help you do that.
