Educators Live Launch

Session Outline

This session examines the current state of interactive 3D development, the ways in which it’s disrupting fields like film and animation, architecture, engineering and construction, art and design, and how educational institutions are thinking about preparing students for these changes. A panel of industry and education luminaries will discuss where the opportunities for people with these skill sets will be, what learning and teaching in these areas should look like, and how we might design spaces in which this learning can happen.

This session took place on September 15, 2020.
