From concept to creation: IMG capstone projects Interactive media students cap off their studies with a capstone project, bringing together the theory and practical skills they’ve learned throughout their program.

The final projects are chosen by the students and can include apps, games, graphic designs, websites and branding concepts and are presented to the public at an annual showcase event.

“It’s exciting to reveal what students have been working on throughout the year,” said Megan Wilson, interactive media instructor.

Along with presenting to the public, students also present their work and network with NIC’s advisory committee — a group of industry experts and alumni that guides curriculum development for NIC’s interactive media programs.

The entire process reflects what students will experience in the real world in working with clients to bring concepts to completion.

“By the time they graduate, students are ready to work in the creative industry and many already have clients or job opportunities,” said Wilson.

Putting theory to practiceNIC Early Childhood Care & Education student Taylor Stern knew she wanted to work with people, but as she looked to go back to school she was drawn to working with children.

“With kids, you’re coming from a place of positivity,” said Stern. “Everything is new. Your role is to support them and encourage them as they explore the world.”

Stern did her part of her practicum at Mini Miracles Family Centre in Port Alberni.

“Being able to put the theory into practice was so rewarding,” she said. “There’s an incredible amount of theory and research into child development. Being in practice really helped to make the connection with what we learned in class.”
