Hi all,

We're back after COVID! This will likely be our first in person event (unless COVID blocks it again, but I think we may power through regardless).

This will be a joint event with CivicTechYYC/Data For Good, though the details are still being ironed out.

Please **bring project ideas**, or just come ready to code and hop into someone else's project, whatever you prefer. I can't stress this enough. We are really running short on ideas, so if you want to build something, or know someone who wants something built, bring it in!

If you'd like to start arranging a team to work on a project beforehand, feel free to post your idea in the comments on the event page!

As usual, none of us are experts in what we're working on, the goal is to get together and learn as a group.

---------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites
---------------------------------------------------

Our goal is to actually be working on ideas, so this is not a good MeetUp for people who are brand new to coding. You should know basic coding concepts such as loops, objects, data structures etc. If you've taken a university-level programming course or two, or done eighty or so hours of self-study should should be good to go. Writing your own code and solving problems with code should not be new to you, particularly with respect to web development.

That said, if you want to show up and work through tutorials on freecodecamp.org as people hack together their projects, you're welcome to do that.

Participation in previous events is never a requirement.

Calgary UX is honoured to partner with General Assembly to bring a new series of events. Join a conversation with Pushkar Patange, UX Lead Designer at Archiact.

----------------

Please, RSVP and complete the registration at General Assembly page. Thank you!

https://generalassemb.ly/education/uiux-game-design-trends/calgary/193504

----------------

About the event:
Gaming appeals to people of all generations: 86% of Generation Z, 84% of millennials, and 80% of Generation X play video games on their gaming consoles, smartphones, and PCs at least once a week, if not every day. If current trends persist, gaming may entice more consumers away from watching streaming TV and movies.

Included in those trends are UX/UI design principles. The complexity of video game graphics has evolved exponentially. This evolution involves the integration of UX/UI design. Join us to discover if this field is meant for you, but most importantly, which components are here to stay in the world of VR.

----------------

With a BFA in Design and a Masters in Digital Media, he has over 15 years of design and advertising experience in some of the world's leading design studios and ad agencies.

Over the last few years Pushkar has been working at a world-leading VR and AR game studio - Archiact, where he recently worked on Doom 3: VR Edition. It's a finalist for VR Game of the Year at the 2021 International VR Awards and has been well received among diehard fans. He is currently is working on a major VR production (undisclosed) in addition to other exciting projects.

Pushkar also teaches Data Visualization and Human-centered design at a VRAR program in Vancouver.

Our students, teachers, and parents come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. Valuing diversity, equity and inclusion not only matters, but is necessary for us to actualize our mission and truly impact the communities we serve.

Live and breathe learners

We deeply understand and empathize with our users. We leverage user insights, research, and experience to build content, products, services, and experiences that our users trust and love. Our success is defined by the success of our learners and educators.

Take a stand

As a company, we have conviction in our aspirational point of view of how education will evolve. The work we do is in service to moving towards that point of view. However, we also listen, learn and flex in the face of new data, and commit to evolving this point of view as the industry and our users evolve.

Embrace diverse perspectives

We are a diverse community. We seek out and embrace a diversity of voices, perspectives and life experiences leading to stronger, more inclusive teams and better outcomes. As individuals, we are committed to bringing up tough topics and leaning into different points of view with curiosity. We actively listen, learn and collaborate to gain a shared understanding. When a decision is made, we commit to moving forward as a united team.

Work responsibly and sustainably

We understand that achieving our audacious mission is a marathon, so we set realistic timelines and we focus on delivery that also links to the bigger picture. As a non-profit, we are supported by the generosity of donors as well as strategic partners, and understand our responsibility to our finite resources. We spend every dollar as though it were our own. We are responsible for the impact we have on the world and to each other. We ensure our team and company stay healthy and financially sustainable.

Deliver wow

We insist on high standards and deliver delightful, effective end-to-end experiences that our users can rely on. We choose to focus on fewer things - each of which aligns to our ambitious vision - so we can deliver high-quality experiences that accelerate positive measurable learning with our strategic partners.

Cultivate learning mindset

We believe in the power of growth for learners and for ourselves. We constantly learn and teach to improve our offerings, ourselves, and our organization. We learn from our mistakes and aren't afraid to fail. We don't let past failures or successes stop us from taking future bold action and achieving our goals.

Bring out the joy

We are committed to making learning a joyful process. This informs what we build for our users and the culture we co-create with our teammates, partners and donors.
