As part of a special three-week program called iD Gaming Academy, which is also run by iD Tech and held at Stanford, 16-year-old Sterling Culter works on animating a computer game character so that it can walk or die (by falling backward) in a game. By the end of the three-week camp, Culter said that his class will have built a novel computer game that they can play on any machine.
He sees this program as one step on the road to becoming an animation specialist. "I could see a movie career at a company like Pixar," said Culter, who's from Redlands, Calif. His fall back career is as a doctor, like his dad.
