The CREATE Academy initiative will launch in summer 2026 with hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) programming, pre-college experiences and industry-connected training designed to prepare students for careers in emerging technologies and the future workforce.
Students at Cal State San Bernardino are gaining hands-on experience with motion capture technology, discovering new ways to tell stories and expanding their career possibilities in fields ranging from entertainment to emerging media.
