DigiPen was founded in 1988 by Mr. Claude Comair as a computer simulation and animation company based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. As the demand for production work increased, DigiPen faced difficulty finding qualified personnel, and in 1990, it began offering a dedicated training program in 3D computer animation to meet this growing need.

This course has become a journey for me. It has been one of my first classes at a university level. I have learned many valuable skills and lessons. I know they will be of great use to me in my further years at college, and in life. First, I learned that if I follow instructions and meet the criteria that is expected of me I can do very well. Secondly, I had the opportunity to learn how to develop a resume for college and work use. Having a resume that is up to standards and knowing what I need to modify, in the years to come, is extremely helpful when I am trying to obtain an occupation. Additionally, I also obtained the knowledge and skills on how to conduct research. Learning how to use the OSU library website to be able to find academic databases has been extremely helpful. I have learned how to access the databases and be able to search and obtain what I need. Even though, my other classes have not required me to conduct research, I may have to conduct research in the years to come. Knowing how to navigate the website and conduct my research will make it easier. I am very pleased with myself that I chose to do the extra credit that was offered. I knew that many professors did not offer the opportunity to gain extra credit.
