In a couple weeks we’ll be having our first virtual panel with Blacks at Microsoft. Super excited to present this to our community so that we learn from what everyone has to say! Events like these have large impact on students early in their careers and I can’t wait to see the fruit that it bears. Huge thanks to Michaelangelo Hayes, Aaron Brown, and Venesha Morris for helping put this together, and thanks to the panelists Pierre Hintze, Melissa Boone, Ron B., and Franco Bulaon for speaking!

This past week, I attended the DigiPen Institute of Technology x Cxmmunity Media Game Jam and #UnrealFest Seattle 2024! I represented Thrive Scholars throughout the week and gained many opportunities to network with tech companies and creators alike! For the Game Jam, our team created a neo futuristic Rocket Racing map called "Trust Fall", using Unreal Editor for Fortnite #UEFN! Due to programming limitations with Rocket Racing, I helped to design the track and provided edits to ensure a better player experience! It was really good to work with students from NC A&T on this game in under 12 hours! Unreal Fest was a very insightful experience, as it allowed me to learn potential skills and the latest advancements of Unreal Engine! It has given me the confidence to continue on my path of using Epic Games' products within my portfolio, as they are becoming the business standard in terms of game development, architecture, and automotive design! I would love to thank Oluwasomi Ogunsuada, Steve Isaacs 🔜 FallCUE, and others at Epic Games for giving me the opportunity to come out to Seattle and participate in these events! I would also like to thank Ian Southwell and others at Cleverlike Studios, Inc. for organizing the game jam! This was one of the best experiences I have ever had!
