Student Innovation Projects are the heart of the Master of Digital Media program.
In Spring and Summer terms, multidisciplinary teams of four to six students take on applied technology-focused projects to develop prototypes or applications from concept to deliverable. Projects can be proposed by client partners spanning various industries, academic and research, not-for-profits, and community organizations. Under the guidance of faculty subject matter experts, teammates from diverse backgrounds and disciplines gain hands-on experience working with real-world client partners. All projects adhere to a 12-week project duration following industry-standard development processes.
