My experience at DMA was amazing. I was not only able to make my own levels for a virtual reality game, but I learned a ton of useful skills and met plenty of nice people. An average day looked like this.

-I arrive At 9 am
-Work until 10:30
-Small 30 minute break
-Lunch
-Some more work
-Another small break
-End the day at 5

These days were the perfect mixture of learning and fun; I won't forget the break times. It was during those breaks that I became hero of the classroom. Classes steal each other's flags for prizes at the end of the program. I took this very seriously by stealing other classes' flags and winning back our stolen flags. Through endless games of volleyball and Egyptian war, I was able to help my class win.

I had so much fun during camp, the ever confusing unity engine became a piece of cake once I took the course, and what's best is that I can work on my game at home too! I will never forget this experience, and I'm very thankful for my supporters and wishbone for helping me get here.

I’d like to thank all my friends and family for helping me support my Wishbone campaign. Every dollar is very meaningful to me and I am thankful for all the support. I have a very busy summer ahead, but I’m most excited for my week at the Digital Media Academy. I will be attending the Digital Media Academy workshop for Virtual reality video game development. I chose this program because the DMA allows me to combine my love of technology and video games with my love for building. I can truly unleash my creativity and express myself this summer with this opportunity to develop virtual reality games.

I’ve never experienced a virtual reality headset such as the Oculus Rift, but it is becoming very popular and looks extremely fun. Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by a perfect dream world and play their favorite games? Even better, who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by a group of bloodthirsty monsters and have the opportunity to chop them down? It’s these sorts of options that really draw me to the Digital Media Academy. I can truly use my own creativity to design a game and a world that represents who I am.

I look forward to learning skills I can use in my free time. Since I’m going to college, I expect to have a lot of classes, and a lot of free time. With skills I learn from the Digital Media Academy, I won’t have to waste away during my free time. I’ll have an edge on my peers because I already have skills I learned from the DMA, that’s what I’m most excited about.

I’m very glad to be a part of this amazing program and want to thank everyone who supported me and Wishbone, this is an amazing opportunity that I will make the most of.
