For students majoring in Creative Technology and Design, the Capstone course sequence is the culmination of their undergraduate careers, asking them to draw from the full spectrum of their technical and design skills to conceive, plan and build a project that challenges them to reach outside their comfort zones and create. In many cases, it's the most complex and challenging work of their careers at 抖阴旅行射 Boulder.

In the presentations listed below, students are sharing their work with a wider audience for the first time. Each student presents for no more than 5 minutes, after which commentary is provided by the reviewers detailed below. You are invited to attend some or all of these presentations, which have been broken up into four sessions, all of which take place on Sunday, May 1.听

Matt Bethancourt develops experimental games and interactions that explore the limits of what a game can be and how games create opportunities for reflection. He has taught audio production, sound synthesis, sound design, game design and development, web design, physical computing and installation/performance with Max/MSP. He holds a Master of Fine Arts in Design and Technology from Parsons School for Design.

Nicky Britt used his passion for entertainment as a North Star, he entered gaming as a QA lead for Aspyr Media in Austin, Texas, managing teams on titles such as Star Wars: KOTOR, Bioshock Infinite, and Civilizations V. After cutting his teeth on project management at various tech companies, including the mobile-development firm Wunderman Thompson Mobile (leading teams that created apps for Ice Network and PGA tour, among others), he opened his own mobile game studio. Now entrenched in the local game scene, Nicky Britt is the sole producer at Sunblink Entertainment and firmly believes in process, fun, and honesty for team success.
