Local Montessori students learn FBIT student has game

The Faculty of Business and Information Technology (FBIT) is saluting Joel Lavigne, a fourth-year Gaming student who recently visited Whitby Montessori School to speak to students about FBIT’s exciting Gaming program.

Lavigne not only demonstrated some of the innovative games he has created during his studies at UOIT, he also spoke to the Grades 1 to 10 students about the importance of teamwork, options for careers in the gaming industry, and what it is like to make the transition from high school to university. His presentation was well-received and generated much interest from the young audience.

The faculty’s Game Development and Entrepreneurship specialization is offered through the Bachelor of Information Technology program.
