During my time with听ATLAS, I really enjoyed studying user-experience design and web development. Having the opportunity to develop so many projects that not only satisfied my course requirements but were also interesting to me was incredible because I never felt tied down to strict regulations on my creativity. Some highlights of my undergraduate experience involved developing my senior capstone,a wearable haptic audio transfer device;听becoming听a TA and engineering fellow to help my fellow students succeed; and developing countless other projects that tapped into both my creative and technical sides. Post-graduation, I plan to move into a full-time position as senior web developer and mission operation scientist at Southwest Research Institute.

"Michelle has always been an incredible representative of ATLAS in the combination of science, technology, design and art with all the work that she has done in my courses.

It was novel and inspiring.听 Michelle has a bright future ahead of her, I can鈥檛 wait to see what she does next." - Sheiva Rezvani, Instructor

"Michelle鈥檚 journey has been incredible and inspiring. I am so happy to have been a small part of it as a UROP advisor, and wish her all the best for taking all her ideas further!" - Daniel Leithinger, Assistant Professor

CTD has been the creative and technical launchpad for my interest in immersive storytelling work. Over the last four years, I鈥檝e explored this through studying game design sequences, interactive digital narratives and story navigation in 360 video. I have also discovered my passion for photography, typography and was able to learn through teaching (7 lab sections). Dovetailing with my engagement in the Engineering Honors Program, CTD has provided me with the opportunity to study abroad in Latin America twice. All of this has culminated in my capstone project: a half-hour interactive & animated VR short film created with my project partner Emily Gould. After graduation, I hope to continue this trajectory and either work as an XR narrative and interaction designer, or as an UX designer for content creation tools in the same realm. ATLAS is where I鈥檝e been inspired and welcomed by a generous, resilient, dedicated, and passionate interdisciplinary creative community. I鈥檓 so grateful for my time here and can鈥檛 wait to see where my experiences in this program lead me next!

"Lillie has done such amazing work in Storytelling for Virtual Reality - it has been a true pleasure to advise her UROP and follow her capstone project! Besides her own work, she also contributed to ATLAS, such as volunteering to walk through the building with a 360 camera to let incoming students experience it in VR. I can鈥檛 wait to see what鈥檚 coming next for Lillie!" - Daniel Leithinger, Assistant Professor

"Lillie鈥檚 creative endeavours have always been exemplary and show profound thoughtfulness with regards to integrating her broader studies into her coursework.听 In addition to this, her work demonstrated听a keen technical proficiency, and her active participation within the classroom (virtual or physical) promoted听a sense of community and encouraged others to push their personal work farther as well." - Ian Hales, Instructor

I primarily focused my time in ATLAS on front-end web development and improving my understanding of design principles and user experiences. I think that my capstone project was a great experience because I liked having the opportunity to pursue an entirely self-determined project. I also enjoyed a number of my design courses, particularly those focusing on theory and typography. As of right now, I believe I will be taking a full time position with Meals on Wheels of Boulder as their Marketing and Communications Associate while I continue to look for other opportunities.

"I鈥檝e really enjoyed working with Alana in my Experimental Typography class. She has a sophisticated aesthetic sensibility and consistently came up with fascinating ideas for her projects." - Joel Swanson, Assistant Professor

Being a first generation college graduate, I was beyond excited to get the opportunity to further my education in hopes of someday being able to repay my parents for every single thing they have done for me. During my time in college, I found myself diving into everything design. I was intrigued by some of the technical and coding classes, but I was much more excited about the classes focused around design specifically.

Throughout my undergraduate degree, I was lucky enough to have so many professors that went beyond what they were required to do. Whether it was an elective or a core class, the majority of my professors would always show up to class excited to see us students. This made a huge difference in my college career because the excitement was contagious. They knew how to engage with their students and they knew how to convey the information in a way that made me want to learn. I cannot thank some of my favorite professors enough for the impacts they unknowingly made in my life and how they truly shaped me into the educated, considerate, appreciative person I am today.

"Logan鈥檚 commitment to self-development is impressive. I was always grateful for his engagement with his peers to help create an inclusive classroom environment. His willingness to communicate honestly and vulnerably helped set the tone in class听and should serve as an inspiration for other young men!" - Annie Margaret, Instructor

While enrolled听in the ATLAS program, I fell in love with User Experience Design and plan to pursue work in that field upon graduation. At CU Boulder I also had the opportunity to be a Lab Assistant for several classes and discovered that I loved听helping others improve their work and deepen their design passions. My newfound interest in software interactions led me to create a business called 4thWall, which is an app that raises money for various charities through streaming TV on the 4thWall application. I intend to continue running this business alongside my freelance work in the film production and web development industries.

It鈥檚 been wonderful to get to know him, and I look forward to seeing where the future takes him!" - Arielle Hein, Director of Undergraduate Programs & Instructor

For me, my ATLAS experience was a journey where I rediscovered my interests and passions and pursued them to engineer special projects with creative solutions for the 21st century. The wide variety of classes and projects I did helped expand my passion for space exploration, science fiction and science communication, gave me the knowledge and techniques to work on a Colorado space grant mission to the moon, and allowed me to explore my game development hobby. My projects varied from creating scale models of space stations, developing card games based on rocket statistics, making a movie trivia game only possible through Zoom, or modeling a scale living room for a cat to act as a controller, to even constructing a life size marionette frame for a person to play Godzilla. These zany ideas could only have been pushed to maturity through the bespoke class structure and the caring supervision from faculty. After I graduate, I will be working more on public communication in space science. While doing that, I plan to pursue a Masters degree in science communication.

"Ben was wonderful to have in class. He had a tactful way of delivering criticism of the assigned readings, or other students鈥� interpretations, while also being respectful and kind.

"Ben鈥檚 creative mind and solid sense of humor were always welcome in my classroom. His projects were consistently imbued with his personality, and his honest, critical eye elevated the classes he was a part of." - Danny Rankin, Instructor

My first two years in the CTD program I focused on graphic design. Coding was always intimidating to me, so I put off taking all the computational requirements, which was both ironic and unfortunate because I ended up really enjoying them. I also really enjoyed working on my capstone project because I was able to听apply knowledge from multiple classes and work with some amazing people. The goal behind my project was to create an interactive experience for children receiving anesthesia to help reduce their anxiety. I hope to test the project during elective surgeries at the end of this semester and continue working towards getting it implemented in hospitals.

I first started my journey at CU as an art major. I loved it, but I wanted to develop some more technical skills along with my passion for art. That is how I found the ATLAS program. Since then I have gained an incredibly diverse skill set. I have learned to make screen-based art as well as immersive, installation and sculptural work with embedded electronics. I also started doing graphic design, web design and building websites. This paved the way for an interest in coding that eventually led me to minor in computer science. During my study abroad program in Florence, Italy, I picked up another minor in art history. Recently, I have worked a lot with interaction design, user experience design, HCI, materials and even product design. These areas of interest culminate in my senior capstone project: a prototype for three interactive products designed to help users relax. In four and a half short years I have learned so many great skills and begun to develop the confidence in myself that I will need in my life post-graduation. As I leave CU and the ATLAS program, I hope to find a job that will embrace my diverse skill set and allow me to confidently use my technical and creative abilities to their full potential.

"I really enjoyed the quality of work and creativity that Sarah brought to all the courses. Her projects for Radical Design and Fundamentals of HCI were both insightful and fun!
