About Emory University

We have chosen the Emory University campus to host our intensive summer teen camps in Georgia because it is home to nine major academic divisions, numerous centers for advanced study, and a host of prestigious affiliated institutions. The iD Gaming Academy is a one-of-a-kind offering for students seeking to get better at the art and science of game development. The program is intended for high-school-aged students ages 13-18.

Getting to Campus: Our specific location on campus at this Georgia summer camp, along with maps and driving directions, will be found in your Camp Account after you register. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta in the tree-lined suburban neighborhood of Druid Hills, Emory University is positioned along the Clifton Corridor. These are ideal summer camps for near Atlanta. The campus is within walking distance to a small university town center, with restaurants, coffee shops and other local attractions. Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport is located southwest of the city, approximately a 25 minute drive from Emory. Come check out our summer camps near Atlanta, Georgia!

Is Georgia a Gaming Hotspot? The Georgia Game Developers Association intends to make the state of Georgia a nationally-recognized game development powerhouse. One of the ways the GGDA will accomplish this goal is to act as a liaison between local universities and industry. The Atlanta area is already home to some well-recognized development houses including Hi-Rez Studios. Established in 1995, Hi-Rez Studios is the largest independent game development studio in Georgia. The studio is always looking for awesome game programmers. Lately, the company has been hiring for their next generation MMO game. Their studio is located in Alpharetta, GA. The iD Gaming Academy at Emory University seeks to act as a bridge between the the high-school, university, and professional tracks. If you are interested in game design, you have to get started earlier and earlier in this competitive (and lucrative) field. The iD Gaming Academy is a vital stepping stone in the process.

Tours & Activities

Studio Tour

Last season our Emory University students took a tour of Hi-Rez Studios, Inc., a developer of online interactive entertainment software. Hi-Rez Studios, Inc. was established in 2005 to create exceptional online interactive entertainment and is located just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. For more information, please visit www.hirezstudios.com.

We are currently solidifying tour information for our 2010 season. We look forward to returning to the studio we visited last season. Please Note: The studio venue may change based on availability.

Gaming Tournaments at the iD Gaming Academy

What better way to learn how commercial games are created then to fire up the most cutting edge titles and play! LAN parties are a big part of what makes the iD Gaming Academy so immersing. With industry leading names like NVIDIA®, Unreal Tournament® 3, Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare™ and Valve® Steam™ technology, you know you are in for many incredible nights of ducking, dodging and fragging.

Our Computer Gaming Tournaments use some of the hottest and most recognized game titles on the market, and all students will have opportunities for gameplay with local tournaments, as well as regional tournaments across Academy locations. We have partnered with NVIDIA® to ensure the most cutting-edge network gaming possible and use NVIDIA GeForce® gaming cards for peak PC gaming performance When we need to get out of our chairs for some console action, we’ll break out the Nintendo® Wii, Guitar Hero® or Xbox 360®.

Gaming Tournaments are an exciting element of our teen activities, but do not replace or infringe on instructional time. NOTE: Games in our Gaming Tournament are rated “T” for Teen and “M” for Mature and are selected at the sole discretion of iD Tech Camps staff.
