MAGIC’s mission is to develop entrepreneurial education experiences for high school and college students to enrich their understanding and interest in technology. These workshops and bootcamps are positioned as entry-level beginner classes to appeal to the widest possible population of high school and college students. Our offerings change frequently to keep pace with the ever-evolving technological standards.
Gaming Development
MAGIC partners with a professional game developer to offer game development classes for students interested in coding and developing their own video games. Our gaming courses utilize Unity and C#.
Check our Event page for scheduled dates.
Intro to Gaming Development
13 week course offer several times a year.
Students will have completed a playable level of their very own video game- designed and scripted by them at the completion of the Intro course.
Intermediate Gaming Development
13 week course offered several times a year in conjunction with our Intro course.
Students participating in this intermediate course will build upon the skills and knowledge learned in the Intro to Gaming Development course. Students taking this course should have completed the Intro class or have an intermediate level of knowledge using Unity and C#.
Big Data Bootcamp
The Big Data Bootcamp class is geared to expose curious and independent learners to python, basic data science, and machine learning techniques. We introduce the python language, general programming principles, important libraries and tools, and basic ML algorithms. We’ve designed the topics to be accessible to all levels.
BDB combines a combination of zoom “lectures” and mini-projects, all based on a series of Google Colab notebooks. The goal is to give students enough information and exposure to each topic so that they feel comfortable using the tech and have a base to expand upon. By the end of the course, participants will have created a reusable Github repo with all the notes and code. Data science is a massive field, but this course is designed to lay the groundwork for furthering the interest to keep learning.
How To: Capture the Flag 101
This information workshop introduces the concept of cybersecurity and Capture the Flag competitions. We discuss how CTFs can be used as a viable learning tool for organizations and education professionals who want to introduce an audience to the world of Cybersecurity.
We will breakdown cyber terminology, the importance of promoting cyber-centric learning, and explaining how a CTF works as a learning tool.
At the end of the 1 hours workshop, we will culminate with a “mini” CTF to give the participants an interactive experience with the competition platform.
This workshop can be done in person or through a virtual webinar.
