App Apogee

Design and Technology alumni and students are finding success in the marketplace with projects they developed in the classroom. STEVE VARGA, MFA DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY ’10, launched Pennant, an interactive exploration of baseball data, for the iPad in February. Developed as Varga’s thesis project, Pennant received rave reviews from Wired and Sports Illustrated. ZACH GAGE, MFA DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY ’10, and MFA Design and Technology student KURT BIEG created Halcyon, an iPad game that allows users to create elegiac soundscapes by matching colored triangles. The application is in competition for the title of Best Mobile Game at the 2011 Independent Games Festival.
