BAVC’s G:URL Gamers visited local game design studio, Supergiant Games! Students toured the studio, were given a sneak peak into the studio’s upcoming game and were able to ask them questions about their roles within the company.

Plus, they each walked away with a great bag of schwag.

Thank you, Supergiant Games!!

Ryan and Neha from Square came to visit G:URL Gamers a few weeks ago. Both are engineers with the company, but both took very different paths to get there. It was great to hear about each of their experiences and advice. Sereen even got some help with her Computer Science homework!
