MAGD EXPO 2020

DECEMBER 21

ABOUT

The Expo is an annual juried event, sponsored by the University of Wisconsin at Whitewater’s Media Arts and Game Development (MAGD) program, which features interactive entertainment, 3D, 2D, aural, virtual, and animated creative work.

Our annual event is typically held on campus of UW-Whitewater, but because of the global pandemic, this year’s event is taking place in a virtual environment online.

The winter Expo includes a small sample of recent work in addition to the prize winners from our larger spring event.

We hope you’ll spend some time experiencing, playing, and viewing our students’ projects from this year and also participate in choosing our people’s choice award.

Our students can gain experience making games in virtual reality. 

Our students also gain experience creating games for alternative controls. Luke and Nicole are showing off their mid-air haptic feedback rhythm game.

Our annual summer camp brings in future students from 8th grade to seniors in high school to campus for a week of game development.
