US AIR FORCE PROJECT DAWG
Innovatrium and Air University are joining forces to host a game design competition called DAWG (Developing Airmen With Games) and are looking for students to develop a prototype that assesses Airman fundamental competencies, such as decision making, leadership, and creating thinking. Students should compete in diverse teams with skills in mobile game development, simulation networking/distribution, graphic design, simulation development, and training development.
