Game Design Instructor

• May 2017 - Aug 2017

Organized and taught various game design classes for University of Utah's Youth Education program, including classes on Tabletop Game Design (analog design), Twin-Stick Shooter Design, Endless Runner Design, and Arcade-Style Survival Arena Design. Unreal Engine 4 was used for 3D projects (Level, Blueprint, Cascade, Persona, and UMG UI were primary editors used), and Game Maker Studio 2 and UE4 (Paper2D) were used for 2D projects. Students ranged from ages 9 to 17, depending on the class. Each class totaled 15 to 35 hours, depending on the class. For many 3D classes, I managed two Teacher's Assistants, allowing an efficient workflow to maximize potential of students' projects. Each student left the class having created a playable of their own game, including an .exe build and project files. Show less
