DigiPen Academy ⭐️ We prepare students for college and careers in digital media.

DigiPen Academy engages elementary, middle, and high school students in the arts and sciences by immersing them in the tools and techniques of today’s high-tech careers. DigiPen Academy programs in Video Game Programming, Game Design, Fine Arts and Multimedia Production, and Engineering enhance students’ problem solving and critical thinking skills, improve their knowledge of core subjects like math and physics, and excite their interest in the academic concepts underlying modern technology. Our students gain much more than a textbook understanding of their field of interest – they put their knowledge into practice in hands-on game, animation, and engineering projects while overcoming obstacles in a fun, collaborative environment. This method of applied learning helps students connect classroom concepts with real-world challenges, and instills in them the values of life-long learning and academic excellence as they explore careers in a range of cutting-edge industries.

This past summer, 64 DigiPen students stepped outside the classroom and into paid internships at game and tech studios through Interns at Indies, our newest career-focused initiative.

While DigiPen students often intern at companies like Microsoft, Nintendo, and Blizzard Entertainment, opportunities at major studios can be limited. Interns at Indies is helping expand those pathways and provide hands-on industry experience.

“We even had one intern where the company said they ‘can’t live without this person,’ and they’re looking to turn that internship into an ongoing gig. This is what it’s all about!” says Associate Professor Ellen Beeman.
