Want to learn more about soft technologies, physical computing, sonic arts or game design on campus? Want to playtest some new video games or step inside a VR experience? Alumni and friends are encouraged to make a creative Carnival stop at the IDeATe (Integrative Design, Arts and Technology Network) Open Labs & Studios in Hunt Library.

Come learn more about interdisciplinary student projects and unique immersive course events. Meet us at the intersection of Art and Technology, where creative and technical skills are leveled up, where the ideas flow freely—let the games begin! Did you think it was only restrooms, study areas and vending machines in the basement of Hunt Library? Have you ever wondered what's going on down there? For nearly the past 10 years, Integrative Design, Arts, and Technology labs and studios have turned the library’s basement into another realm entirely. Join us on a brief guided tour of our collaborative workspaces in the basement, where students learn at the creative intersection of art and technology.
