Exquisite music and sound can be what separate good games, video, and interactive media projects from great ones. Professional designers and composers create soundscapes that allow us to suspend our disbelief, but many of the tools they use are rapidly becoming accessible for students and hobbyists, too.
In this workshop for Innovators, students will be introduced to the basics of music theory while working with cutting edge, professional software used by modern professionals. Instructors will guide students in the use of powerful music editing tools that can continue to be used and experimented with at home.
By the end of the week, each Innovator will be able to write and edit their own creative pieces and sound effects.
Projects in this workshop may include: Implementing sound effects and music into a game or writing a theme with variations.

[My son] rarely talks about what he does in a camp. So when he volunteered information at the end of each day I knew he was loving the camp. The small group allowed him to get to know some of his camp peers and his instructors really well. On the last day of camp, before I even asked his thoughts, he asked ‘do I have any more camps with DigiPen this summer?’ Then he immediately went on to say he wanted to sign up for a bunch of them next summer because he learned so much.
