Video Games & Graphics

UA academy's first challenge is to expose the Hartford, CT. community to a thriving market of computer graphics technology. For all those who still don't take “video games” seriously, we will educate them on how video “games” are now baked into our lives, and for that reason it is critical we learn about this technology.
