Texas A&M Visualization Program

The inaugural Viz Summer Camp has officially begun!

High school students are on campus through Thursday creating projects with faculty expertise from the Texas A&M Visualization Program program.

Caleb Kicklighter, instructional assistant professor, is leading the animation group in creating robots from scrap pieces, then building an environment in Unreal Engine to bring those characters to life.

Anatol Bologan, instructional associate professor, is leading the web and mobile app design students, who will rebrand an existing business by creating designs and building a website and brand guide.

“We are super excited to have a group of creative high schoolers come to Texas A&M and learn about the Visualization program,” said Jill Honeycutt, senior associate program director and instructional associate professor. "They are excited and ready to learn. We are looking forward to a super great week!”

Congratulations to Edgar J. Rojas-Muñoz for receiving a Montague-CTE Scholars Award for development of teaching excellence!

The award is given by the Center for Teaching Excellence to tenure-track assistant professors based on their early success and passion for teaching undergraduate students.

Rojas-Muñoz, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Texas A&M Visualization Program, focuses his research on how mixed reality technologies can assist people in their day-to-day lives.

“I am deeply honored to have been selected for this award,” Rojas-Muñoz said. “This recognition motivates me to keep my teaching at the forefront of what I value, and will allow me to interact closely with other instructors who also understand that impactful teaching can truly make a difference in the lives of our students.”
