Our Metro High School students got an inside look at the video game industry today! 🎮
EAC member Jason Zak shared how he turned his artistic talents into a career in game development. Students learned what it's really like working in this exciting field.

“Secure Frameworks for User Motion Data in Virtual Reality”
A masters thesis by EAC graduate Jayasri Sai Nikitha Guthula
A person wearing a blue VR headset and red shirt stands against a blue gradient background, pointing upward with one hand while holding a mobile device in the other. They're wearing white shorts and sneakers. Three white-bordered interface elements float around them - two showing blue checkmarks and one displaying what appears to be a mobile device or card. The illustration uses a modern, flat design style with the person casting a shadow on the ground, suggesting an interactive virtual or augmented reality experience.
