Yesterday was the 6th annual GeekFest hosted by Central Piedmont Community College. There were multiple speakers present doing workshops on presentations on a variety of Technological topics. My experience with the event was from two levels. The first was from a presenter level. I taught a class of approximately 45 people how to use Natural Motion's Endophin to create simple animations. I gave them information that could use to further their knowledge of the program and it's uses in different industries. I also experienced the GeekFest as a spectator. I spent time with students to observe their reactions and took note of their repective interests. From what I observed there seemed to be a high level of interest in Simulation, Game Development and Web Technologies. This didn't come as much of a suprise considering the popularity of those fields at this time.
The Simulation, Game Development department and myself have been networking with individuals from RedStorm Entertainment located in Cary, NC to speak at the GeekFest. Andrew Carroll from RedStorm Entertainment spoke on in-game modeling and best practices, as well as reviewed student portfolios and models. Overall, I believe the GeekFest was success for STARS teams (ImpactED, GeekSqOD), SGD, and CPCC.
