SCiL Projects
Real-World Design Experience
The Shenandoah Center for Immersive Learning (SCiL) is an active design studio. Faculty, staff, students, and community partners work together on real-world, innovative design projects supported by government agencies, non-profit organizations, museums, faculty research initiatives, and more.
SCiL projects create resume-enhancing, real-world opportunities for Shenandoah University students who are pursuing careers in VR, AR, XR, software development, games, the visual arts, and many other areas of design.
