Bridging Innovation and Expertise: CAM’s Industry Jury Session

From January 28th to 30th, CAM Institute of Design hosted its Industry Jury Sessions, a powerful intersection where veteran expertise mentors the raw innovation of youth. Students from Game Art, Programming, Animation, and Industrial Design presented portfolio-ready projects to a panel of leaders from AAA studios, indie developers, and engineering firms.

The jury featured a diverse lineup of professionals, including UI/UX specialist Ajibola Adewole-Oyebokun, Reframe Games founder Jade Yhap, and technical expert John Calem Harris. These mentors challenged students to balance emotional storytelling with technical optimization and real-world constraints. Michael Solomon, Lead Designer at EOS Studios, noted the students' immense potential, urging them to use their foundational skills to push beyond creative boundaries.
