| | Bill Sabram | This intense and enjoyable 12-week bootcamp was the best class I've had since completing my undergraduate Industrial Design degree at Carnegie Mellon University 20+ years ago. I am extremely satisfied with my experience taking AR & VR for Developers from XR Terra in the Summer of 2020. I have wanted to learn some coding and Unity game development for years, and I worried that I did not have enough of a foundation in programming. Everyone that works at XR Terra put those fears to rest from Day 1. I felt very supported. My classmates inspired me, challenged me, and kept me accountable. The team-based industry projects were amazing, and our instructor Craig Herndon went above and beyond to help us on our Unity projects by keeping office hours all weekend, and Slacking/Zooming whenever needed. Craig's enthusiasm for his students' success is exhilarating. This was my first time taking an all-remote, Zoom video only course, and I’m now founding a company with a few of my XR Terra classmates so we can build a VR project to submit for grant consideration from Oculus Launch Pad! XR Terra made this possible. Even after completing the course, XR Terra continues supporting us with career services, sharing job opportunities, and connecting us to the Extended Reality community here in Boston.
I have emerged with greater self-awareness in my own strengths as a product designer, and I feel super charged with the stack of new technical skills and sensibilities that I have acquired. I’m already collaborating more deeply on my freelance projects because of what I learned at XR Terra. You need to take this course! Your future self will thank you |
