One of the Center’s imperatives are to investigate how technology, creative arts and education can combine to enhance and enrich our lives. Finding ideas and inspiration from these fields, students create interactive digital experiences.
The Center launched a student-powered technology, culture, science and arts blog designed, developed and managed by students called The Next (www.uwbnext.com). It includes a student-produced film: Virtually Physical: Design in the Digital Age.
Students are not just trained for competitive careers in technology—they are uniquely prepared to be innovators of technology and the digital world.
