On Feb 10, over 100 local high school students interested in the arts, media, and entertainment received a full scope experience of the multimedia programs at Crafton Hills College.
While on campus, the group of students from the Colton-Redlands-Yucaipa (CRY) / Regional Occupational Program (ROP) enjoyed a campus tour, a Crafton information session, free lunch, and a handson experience with one of the college’s multimedia instructors.
Multimedia Professor Peter Gend provided an immersive introduction to Crafton’s multimedia pathway and a demonstration of 3D animation software used in his courses.
Students experienced the software themselves by creating their own 3D characters and saw other students’ designs. Gend even showed students how to access the free software from home and some low-cost drawing pads that are like those used at the collegiate level.
Students learned about the career benefits and academic requirements of the multimedia pathway at Crafton during an information session held by Belinda Navarrete, Coordinator of Outreach and Educational Partnerships at Crafton. During lunch, the CHC mascot, Ryker, passed out Crafton swag (lanyards, lip balm, pens) and took pictures with the students.
