Location
Level up your creativity at Harrisburg University’s Game Design Day! Students will spend the day in our cutting-edge media creation and game design labs, diving into the art and science of both tabletop and video game design. From brainstorming mechanics and narratives to playtesting prototypes and exploring digital tools, participants will experience what it’s like to design and develop games in university and professional settings.
Game Design Day is a chance to do the real work of game design! Students will work alongside HU faculty and current Game Design majors to see how ideas become fully realized games, gaining insight into how design, storytelling, and technology come together to shape one of today’s fastest-growing industries.
“Game design sits at a really exciting intersection of art, design, and technology. It’s a medium that anyone can dive into, and it rewards time, attention, and practice.” said Dr. Greg Loring-Albright, Program Lead for Game Design. “All of our students gain skills in art and animation, ideation and production, and game development using a variety of tools. If you want to flex your creative muscles in one of the most exciting entertainment fields in the world, game design might be for you.”
Game design is about problem-solving, creativity, and building worlds that inspire connection. Events like Game Design Day give students an authentic taste of the collaborative, hands-on learning that defines the HU experience.
Lunch will be provided for all attendees. Space is limited, so please mark your calendars and share with your students and colleagues. This is a first come, first served event.
