Game Art & Design is a brand new program offered at LATTC for the first time last Fall. The program begins with basic principles of anatomy, animation, color theory and character design before progressing into game prototyping, allowing students to create their own board game with rules, pieces, and constant play testing. Eventually, students envision and create a 3D application, building their own virtual world from that 2D board game.

Check out our latest news post discussing the program in its first year—and learn how you can get into the gaming community with the upcoming Los Angeles RC Game Con on Sat, May 9. Psst, it's free and open to the public and hosted right here at LATTC!

Happy National American Sign Language (ASL) Day! 🤟 Today, we celebrate the power of communication and the determination of our students. From mastering new skills in plumbing to creating in culinary classrooms, our ASL students are thriving—supported by dedicated interpreters and an inclusive learning environment that helps turn goals into careers. We caught up with a few of them in during class today:

# 1–3: Alejandro Cabrera, pictured with interpreter Glenn Vigil, is in his 1st semester of Plumbing. 🪠🛠️ Today’s class with Mr. Galvan had him working on equations and technical drawings for a bathroom. Alejandro hopes to one day open his own plumbing company, hiring plumbers from the deaf and hard of hearing community.

# 4–5: Luis Benitez, pictured with interpreter, Marissa Aganon, is in his 2nd semester of Professional Baking. 🧑🏽‍🍳🧁Today, he was learning proper ingredient measurements from Chef Colin True. Luis also has his certificate in Culinary Arts and hopes to transfer to CSUN to pursue a degree in business. TBD on how that will manifest for Luis career-wise, but we’ll be the 1st in line for his future culinary ambition.✨

# 6–7: Linda Ulteras, pictured with her interpreter Ramon Ramirez, is in her 2nd semester of Professional Baking. 🎂🍰 Today, Linda learned from Chef Stacy Damaso about opera cake, a classic French dessert layering spongecake soaked in coffee syrup, buttercream and chocolate ganache. One day, she’d like to open her own baking business.
