11. We MAKE Things.
(Games. Apps. Software. Hands. Libraries. Etc.)

12. We EDUCATE by publicly exploring what (and how) we MAKE.
(Students, Faculty, Staff, Community, Public)

13. University
Research
Commercial
Production

14. So… Flash?
…isn’t that dead?

15. Our emerging student engineers ARE GREAT, but
tend to:
a)Be US culture/install centric
b)Focus initially on hype over prototype
c)Start coding before they have a plan
d)Prioritize the device they have in hand
e)All of the above
It’s our job to fix this. That’s what education is.

16. So really,
a) We’re caught in a transition period (like always)
b)Content > technology
c) There are proven technologies on the ground
d)There are new experimental models
e)Markets are fragmenting across devices
That’s the world our students are entering.
That’s the world we have to prepare them for.
