Teens at Spy Hop have been working hard for the last ten months designing and programming a video game about an issue they care about: our planet. The video game, Dig, Shovel, Go, is now ready to launch, and we want YOU there to be one of the first to play it. This FREE event also celebrates the remarkable work of all Spy Hop’s design students. Meander the Urban Arts Gallery and enjoy the 2D and 3D artwork! The Pixel Gallery will include a Q&A with the students, a gallery stroll, a chance to play the game, and light refreshments.
