Dunno Much About the Game Industry
Presenter: Steven Jacobs
Working in the Industry is scoring as high as the second choice of middle and high schools
students (after pro sports) in recent surveys. What are the careers? How can students be
prepared for them? Do they need advanced degrees? What should they be looking for in
higher education institutions? In this session we'll try to answer these questions and point you
to a variety of resources that will help both you and your students be better prepared for the road
ahead. Stephen Jacobs is a Professor of Game Design and Development at RIT and a Game
Designer for Ratatoskr Entertainment, Inc. He is the Outreach Coordinator for the Education
Special Interest Group of the International Game Developers Association.
