Loyalist College’s Animation and Game Development program teams up with the Quinte Natural History Museum

This week for March Break, the Quinte Museum of Natural History unveiled its brand new exhibit about the high arctic.

Loyalist College has revealed that the Trenton museum teamed up with the College’s Animation and Game Development program.

A group of students developed an interactive game for “Expedition Alert: Stories from the High Arctic.”

The SALIX program walks visitors through the challenges of living in the high arctic.

“We embraced the chance to work with a community organization on an ambitious creative challenge, and our students rose to the occasion. They collaborated as a production team, solving problems, refining ideas and using their skills to bring the game to life. Projects like this test the skills students have developed in class and often become a unique portfolio piece — a first opportunity to create work that will be seen and played by the public,” said Peggy Collins, Academic Program Coordinator of the Loyalist program, in a statement.
