Longwood ITTIP is recruiting current 9th grade students for the Digispired ii Project. Students will explore Science and Engineering principles behind game controllers, interact with experts in game industries, and enhance programming skills using multi-platform game development tools to create games.
Students will meet at either Longwood University, Southern Virginia Higher Education Center or Virginia State University two weeks in the summer (July 12-23) and on (5) Saturdays in Spring and (5) Saturdays in Fall. Students will agree to commit to the three year program by signing a contract. We have a limited number of slots available on a First Come First Served Basis.
Students will receive a stipend of $400.00 per year (depending on attendance). For more information, call our office at 434-517-0717
