The Multimedia Training Chain of the School of Basic Sciences, Technology and Engineering – ECBTI of the UNAD, in alliance with AtlanttiCO, has carried out two intensive Bootcamps for content creation in Augmented Reality with Meta Spark, with the aim of preparing to the academic community for the future of disruptive technologies.
The Bootcamps, which took place between April 13 and May 10, provided specialized training in the use of Meta Spark Studio software, an essential tool in creating content for Augmented Reality. In total, 134 UNAD students, teachers and officials had the opportunity to develop skills and competencies in this constantly growing field.
The first Bootcamp was held virtually and had the participation of 105 students and teachers from the university’s Multimedia Engineering program. The second Bootcamp took place at the José Celestino Mutis National Headquarters of the UNAD in Bogotá, with the participation of 29 people.
Given the growing interest in extended reality technologies such as Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, ECBTI has led various initiatives to facilitate training processes that allow the UNAD academic community to develop skills and abilities in the creation of innovative multimedia content and products. .
AtlanttiCO, a design agency with a special focus on the evolution of education and learning, has been a strategic partner in the development of these Bootcamps. In addition, the most outstanding participants of the face-to-face Bootcamp had the opportunity to take the “Meta Spark Creator” international certification exam, an added value that normally costs USD 150. To date, 12 ECBTI students and faculty have passed the exam, becoming certified as Augmented Reality content creators with Meta Spark.
These Bootcamps are part of UNAD’s constant commitment to innovation and adaptation to new technologies, preparing its community to face the challenges of the future and continue at the forefront of education in Colombia and internationally.
