Carnegie Mellon visits Sifteo
Posted February 28th, 2010 by David under News
On Thursday we hosted 20 students from Carnegie Mellon’s Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) Silicon Valley Program, as well as CMU ETC faculty Don Marinelli, Jiyoung Lee and Carl Rosendahl. These masters students spend part of their time “embedded” at Electronic Arts in Redwood Shores, where they have their own workspace and do coursework towards their degree. At the same time they can interact with EA people and experience what it’s like to work in a top-notch video game company. Sounds like a great experience!
The students checked out our latest demos, getting a peek at our take on the next wave of social, tabletop gaming. For those of us at Sifteo, it was a chance to make contact with a group of smart people that will be the next generation of creative+technical game builders. We talked about the capabilities of Siftables and the game mechanics that they uniquely enable. We’ll keep in touch with this group going forward — thanks to the students and faculty for visiting!
