FIEA's a hot spot for visitors this week!

The cohort is in a constant state of flux right now as the games are being polished and bugs are being fixed, but more importantly a slew of special guests have been making their way through the FIEA halls. Just this week representatives from 360ed, Bethesda Softworks, Monster Media, and EA Tiburon are coming through for interviews with 2K Boston also attending virtually through webcam for their interviews. Added to that is the normal facility tours that take place ever so often for new and prospective students, and also a very prestigious visit from the Florida Governor, Charlie Crist...FIEA is certainly the place to be this week!

While the companies attending the events this week are mainly interested in personal interviews with our students, they've also been touring around the cohort space and taking place in game demos of Drifters and Sultans of Scratch. This not only lets them see the games that their interviewees are touting on their resume, but also shows them what kind of amazing work our program churns out in just a few months!

During his visit to our area, Governor Crist visited the FIEA campus as well as EA Tiburon to see how game development is flourishing in the Central Florida area. Both teams had the opportunity to demonstrate their games for the Governor and he also toured the cohort space to see where the next generation of game developers were honing their skills. He believed both Sultans and Drifters were very creative and he was impressed with the talent that is coming out of Florida today.
