Content
In this unit we research, establish, and harness the navigation of interactive design, through playable and playful games and applications across platforms including mobile, desktop and agile environments. The unit enables student-driven outcomes to coalesce with industry partnerships where professional expectations are fast-paced, specific and timely.
