1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
My mentorship is at the Game Innovation Lab at the University of California, in LA.2. Who is your contact? What makes this person an expert?
My contacts are either Sean Bouchard, Elizabeth Swensen, and Tracy Fullerton. The one who made my phone call was Sean Bouchard due to the fact he was present. All three are experts in that they are all professional. All of them are either associate professors, or have a Masters in the Interactive Entertainment (video games). More importantly, two of them specialize in educational games, which revolves around my EQ.
3. How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
I have thus recorded 26 hours of mentorship during the year, and 22 had been done during the summer.
4. Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
So far, every mentorship day has been surprising or unique; our mentors allow us to experience what they would at the time. If there were a seminar taking place that they had to attend, they would bring us along. If there was a class lecture, they would have us shadow or even actively participate at the given opportunity. If they were working on the brainstorming aspect of the game, they would ask us for the help. Clerisse and I basically do what is available at the time, and it's exhilarating how unexpected it could be because it's always an additional detail to the whole field of game design.
