[game_edu] The AltDev Student Summit

[Luke Dicken]

Hey all,
The AltDev Student Summit is now less than a week away. It's online, it's
free, it's a great opportunity for your students to learn from more than 30
game development professionals. We have sessions covering the daily life of
a variety of different roles within development, as well as sessions
covering things that these developers wish that they had learnt during
their studies. Ian Schreiber and Jen MacLean are providing our keynotes,
and we have a panel highlighting different routes some people have taken in
order to break into the industry recently. Finally, we are running the
AltDev Student Showcase, sponsored by Unity Technologies, which I have
posted about previously. This is an opportunity to watch 6 student teams
pitch their current projects and receive feedback from a panel of industry
veterans in a Dragon's Den (Shark Tank in the US) style.

We've aimed to provide as much information and inspirational content as
possible, whilst also creating a relatively entertaining event. Full
information on the event can be found at
http://www.altdevblogaday.com/altdev-student-summit-2012/ .

We would really appreciate any help to tell your students about this and
anyone else you think this will be relevant to. It would be great if you
could also help us spread the word through social media.

Finally, thank you to everyone who has helped us bring the event to
fruition. We've already had a huge amount of interest from students around
the world and we know that a lot of that is down to many of you promoting
the event for us - we are so grateful. That doesn't stop us asking for one
last push mind you ;)

Thanks,
Luke Dicken and Heather Decker-Davis
