Interdisciplinary collaboration is just one part of the polytechnic experience students receive at the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
Students in the Games and Fashion Design program worked on two projects with members of the Blue Devils dance team, and their recent collaboration expanded into athletics.
Dance team members Alayna Reps and Izzy Swanson switch from dancewear to donning motion capture suits as the game design team brings the game to life in UW-Stout's state-of-the-art Vicon motion capture studio in Michaels Hall supported.
Meanwhile, dance team head coach Samantha Zywicki collaborated with fashion design and development senior Reem Emerson to create new costumes for the winter jazz routine.
