IPLD Buffalo Industry Day - Microsoft (Video Game / Technology Design)

This is our second opening industry day experience for the 2019-2020 year with our IPLD Buffalo students.  We will explore how to utilize Microsoft technology and software coding to help us animate our industry projects.

Please confirm your seat through the CONFIRM/RSVP button now so we can confirm lunch details for all participants.

1) Industry Trip Focus (Microsoft):
