A team of three Colleyville Heritage High School students in GCISD’s Career and Technical Education is competing at the state’s SkillsUSA competition, Friday, April 10, in Corpus Christi. They earned the opportunity to compete at state after placing second at the recent District 4 competition in the Interactive Application and Video Game Development category.
In that event, students must produce an original prototype or sample of an interactive application/video game with at least one level and 10 minutes of interactive content. The objective is to test student’s technical knowledge and production skills, including critical thinking, creative problem solving, teamwork, interpersonal and visual communication, artistic design, and technical programming.
The team of students advancing to state includes Isaiah Baxter, Austin Smith and Travis Boyse.
SkillsUSA is formerly the VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America). Today, the organization is SkillsUSA and empowers its members to become skilled professionals, career-ready leaders and responsible community members by working on real-world projects. They emphasize dignity of work, high standards in trade ethics, superior workmanship, quality and safety.
Good luck at state!
