Program Highlights
Beginner creators at Delco Boxing Academy learned how they can incorporate their own lives and interests into virtual experiences.
Learners ages 9-13 were introduced to 3D creation by creating photogrammetry models of objects in their environments, including boxing equipment, and importing them into a 3D experience. CreateAccess Co-Founder Patrick Cozzi facilitated an experimental "Animation Station" that allowed creators to rig an avatar that mimicked their own real-life boxing moves!
CreateAccess microcourse materials introduced students to a new 3D creation platform for Rowan University's ACM Game Jam.
CreateAccess Co-Founder & Executive Director Liz Dailey visited an event hosted by Rowan University's ACM-W club, where she introduced students to Unreal Editor for Fortnite and ways to create personally-relevant Fortnite experiences using UEFN and photogrammetry. She shared CreateAccess microcourse materials as a resource to help interested students get started with these tools to build a game for Rowan's ACM Game Jam. Two students - Kat Saburova and Mary Moor - built a "Winter at Rowan" themed Fortnite experience with support from the Microcourse Learning Guides.

Students and their families learned about intersections of 3D creation and music by importing their own compositions - made with AI-empowered technology - into Unreal Editor for Fortnite.
The "Sonic Sandbox" programs, implemented in partnership with the Upper Darby Arts & Education Foundation, catalyzed important conversations among families and program staff about career opportunities, digital citizenship, and democratizing creative processes with 3D creator tools and AI technologies.
Computer Science students and educators at Malvern Preparatory School use their skills to help increase access to 3D creation by joining the CreateAccess team.
CreateAccess believes in students supporting other students. Some of the talented students at Malvern Prep joined the CreateAccess team to help build microcourse materials and facilitate microcourses. Their creativity and technical skills have helped ensure that microcourses are interesting and learner-centric. Their engaged, forward-leaning teachers support them in their work, help CreateAccess build and share materials that are educationally sound, and support CreateAccess' strategic growth.
