The Same but Different: Lifting Others and Supporting the Marginalized
Every human brain has something called in-group bias, which influences how we react to people we consider different from ourselves. In this session we will explore some of the history of the LGBTQ+ community and the significant role bias has played in that history. Most important, we will discuss how to break through our biases, foster equity, and help all people feel included.

Advanced VR Development in Unreal Engine Class 6: Building an Interactive Menu in VR
Menus are very common and can have a significant effect on the gaming experience. A buggy or counter-intuitive menu can be very frustrating for players. It is important that we know how to build clean, intuitive user interfaces that work well. In this class, students will learn how to make an interactive menu in virtual reality (VR). Students will be introduced to the Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG) user interface, where we will create an in-game menu with a simple interface. We will then learn how to place our menu in 3D world space and interact with our menu in VR. By the end of the class, students will create a custom menu and place it in their VR environment. They will be able to affect changes to objects in the environment, simply by pressing a button on the menu, e.g. highlighting certain object, make other object disappear, make some object interactive.
This “Advanced” course will focus on making custom interactions in VR, so students will be able to interact with hand tools, buttons, and levers, in addition to creating interactive VR menus. The course will require a lot of coding, so students should have a solid understanding of coding principles before taking the “Advanced” course. If a student does not have much experience with coding, it is highly recommend they take a Python development course beforehand.
HYBRID 6-part series, Tuesdays from 5:30-7:30pm starting Febraury 4th

Advanced VR Development in Unreal Engine Class 5: Interacting with Buttons & Levers in VR
Sometimes we are required to interact with objects that we cannot pick up, and who have very specific motions, e.g. a button is pressed down, a lever rotates, and a drawer is pulled out. How do we make those virtual interactions intuitive and realistic? In this class, students will learn how to interact with a variety of objects that only move on specific paths. We will cover how to lock the player's virtual hand to the object, and how to set thresholds to release the object when the player pulls their hand away. By the end of the class, students will be able to press a button, pull a lever up and down, and be able to open and close a desk drawer.
This “Advanced” course will focus on making custom interactions in VR, so students will be able to interact with hand tools, buttons, and levers, in addition to creating interactive VR menus. The course will require a lot of coding, so students should have a solid understanding of coding principles before taking the “Advanced” course.

Advanced VR Development in Unreal Engine Class 4: Using Hand Tools in VR
Think of how you hold a hammer and how that is different than how you hold a cup of coffee. The same is true in virtual reality (VR). If you pick up a drill and the drill is facing the wrong way, that would be useless, unnatural, and break the sense of immersion. How you pick up an object in VR is important. In this class, students will learn how to place an object in the hand in a specific orientation and location. We will explore the skeletal mesh editing system and create custom hand poses. We will learn how to trigger specific hand poses when specific objects are picked up, to make it look like our virtual hand is actually holding the virtual object. By the end of this class, students will be able to pick up several uniquely shaped hand tools and snap them into the correct orientation when they are picked up.
This “Advanced” course will focus on making custom interactions in VR, so students will be able to interact with hand tools, buttons, and levers, in addition to creating interactive VR menus.
