Meet Brilynne!
\"Brilynne\"<\/figure><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bri is a 2nd year Boise State Student enrolled in the GIMM (GAMES, INTERACTIVE MEDIA, & MOBILE TECHNOLOGY)<\/a> Major through CI+D, and for this week’s #CIDstories<\/a>, she’s going to give us a little insight into the innovative major within the college. She has some wonderful experience to let us in on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose GIMM?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“I chose GIMM<\/a> because it seemed like a great way to combine multiple interests including illustration, gaming, and even the more serious side like health sciences all with a story telling aspect.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are you most looking forward to this year?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“With it being my second year we\u2019ll be doing web development, and I\u2019m really excited to work on my intro to programming class this year – it\u2019s a subject I want to grow in. Last year we learned to read code, but I\u2019m really excited to focus on putting it together this upcoming semester.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why would you recommend GIMM or other courses in CI+D?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“There\u2019s just so many diverse people in my classes. There\u2019s people I would never expect to be into gaming, interactive media, or mobile development, and I think that just shows how inclusive the tech majors and tech industry can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve met 5 of my closest friends by having classes with them, having meals together after CI+D courses<\/a> together, and those connections have helped retain me in the program. GIMM <\/a>is definitely challenging, but having a system of other people is great to help learn and bounce ideas off of.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think Bri is quite the rock star, and are so glad she’s a part of the major!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
