Careers in Interactive Media

Interactivity has become a key part of what we do for fun and entertainment. We use our phones to walk around the neighborhood and "e;catch"e; virtual creatures. We call up our favorite movies and shows from an online menu. "e;VR"e; headsets are creating whole virtual reality worlds for us to immerse ourselves in. Interactive media is an ever-growing and expanding field, with job growth outpacing the average. With accessible and practical tips, this volume explores how makerspaces and hackerspaces provide students with hands-on experience in coding and designing for interactive media to be prepared for these dream jobs of the future.
