FrIDeATe + Student Game Showcase
FrIDeATe + Student Game Showcase
Somehow, the end of the semester is upon us? Seems fake. Nonetheless, all of the fun events will be popping up. Be sure to join us next Friday, December 6th at 4:30 p.m. in the IDeATe Fabrication Lab for FrIDeATe. Will there be an appropriate number of burritos? Unsure. Will there be some special IDeATe swag? Yes. Once you've consumed an alarming amount of chips and dip at FrIDeATe, head upstairs to IDeATe Studios A & B. From 5:00-7:00 p.m., students in the Game Creation Society and 15-466 Computer Game Programming will be showcasing the games that they have created.
