Carlos's Story

My passion is game design.

I discovered my passion for game design through art classes and through a club that I created in my high school. These helped me discover my passion by strengthening my art skills and helping me learn leadership skills that would help me succeed in the gaming industry. I also have attended the coding club at my high school and I am willing to learn all the different computer languages needed for the job. Game design for me has become more than just a game. Its become my passion.

A Note from Mr. Lau, Carlos's Teacher

Our Video Game Club is an opportunity for students to pool their resources and play games that they wouldn't be able to at home. It is also a community-building event. Carlos is the person who promotes and organizes the meetings, and delegates responsibilities to others. He takes great pains to communicate and enforce his club members' behavior and care for the equipment and classroom.

Aside from the obvious gaining of technological knowledge, Carlos would benefit from the networking and leadership training. I think that Carlos is a rising star in the leadership department, and the opportunity to meet and interact with like-minded people would help him hone his leadership style and skills and open doors for him that he doesn't even know exist.

On my way to berkley

I was really nervous and excited to attend the iD Tech Camp at Berkeley. I was hoping to meet people the same age as me and I was hoping to learn something from the program. I packed everything I needed: A notebook, a pen and pencil, my glasses, my allergy medication, even my toothbrush. I was prepared for anything. The experience was life changing - I made friends from all over the world, and I was able to imagine myself as a student attending college on campus. I will never forget this experience. I really can't thank you all enough for making this dream a reality for me.
