 LANSING, Mich. – The Information Technology Empowerment Center (ITEC) is among five local organizations to receive a 50th Anniversary Grant from the Dart Container Corporation.
The grant will allow ITEC to expand its Science of Game Design program this fall.
"The Dart funding will enable ITEC students to learn math, science and technology in new and exciting ways," said Kirk Riley, ITEC executive director.
"ITEC students have fun right now designing their own video games and learning math and science in the process, and this funding will help that grow."
Game design is a field with high earning potential. According to the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), 2009 median annual wages for game designers and other computer specialists was $77,010.
ITEC uses game design and other courses to get students excited about learning. |
