My experience taking the Interaction design and prototyping for XR was life-changing. It gives you not only an advantage in terms of knowledge and skills but also an open-mindedness and readiness for the future. If the future is unwritten, then this course gives you the words for writing it for the better.

This is a wonderful rock-solid foundation course that moves quickly, and requires a lot from students, but it is well worth it. I feel with confidence that I got my money's worth out of what I took (C#, XR Dev, Design). Another great element is the sense of community. I truly feel like it is a close-knit community of like-minded people interested in learning, sharing, helping, and having fun.
