Teaching the next generation of computer animators, game developers, visual effects and visualization specialists is an incredible responsibility. Not only do educators need to satisfy their students’ insatiable curiosity and encourage innovation, but they also need to ensure they’ll be competitive when it comes to finding a job. In addition to meeting/exceeding student needs, application of 3D and gaming technologies across a broad spectrum of industries including medical and scientific simulations, architectural and automotive visualizations, serious gaming, mobile applications and learning has taken on a new and expanded meaning.

In this session we’ll explore some of the issues and challenges facing educators, preparing students for the real world challenge, and supplemental software learning and professional development options from Autodesk.
