WHY
MAGES
We're Powering the Next Wave of Creative Technologists
At MAGES Institute, we believe that today’s creators will be tomorrow’s changemakers. For over 14 years, we’ve been facilitating the next generation of game designers, concept artists, AR/VR developers, full-stack engineers, and digital creators. Our mission is simple: to combine creativity and tech to provide value in the world—and we haven’t strayed from that commitment from the start.
Building Present Day Wizards
We do more than teach software and tools—we build storytellers, problem solvers, and innovators. We take a curriculum that is current in industry relevance and grounded in research-based thinking to ensure the students leave our programs with the skill sets they need to be successful creators in an advancing sector in both the creative and tech industries.
At MAGES, the future is always in the mix. While we still teach fundamental concepts in art and tech, adding newly minted technologies or theories not only prepares the students for jobs but also prepares them for futures they will help invent.
Faculty Grounded as Industry & Innovators
Every instructor who engages with MAGES Institute is an active better practitioner, educational thinker, or researcher-based thinker. Faculty come from studios that span AAA studios, tech start-ups, and R&D labs, so students are provided with a mentoring experience that is relevant, real, and sharp, sharp, sharp.
Beyond the Classroom: MAGES Studio & Mile 3 Finally
MAGES Institute is an educational institute, but we also consider ourselves a community. To that end, MAGES Studio—founded by our own alumni and faculty—builds applied games, AR/VR experiences, and transformative tech solutions to give back to the community and help address the world’s biggest challenges. MAGES Studio directly demonstrates that working with creativity and intention can lead to global impact.
Additionally, we co-created Mile 3, a creative technology incubator and co-space for youth, educators, and industry creative technologies. Mile 3 creates opportunities to take ideas and turn them into action in a community, where students (from all forms of institutions and disciplines) work toward creating impactful innovations.

14 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE & RECOGNITION
To close, we have met creative, bold thinking with a lot of heart to get to where we are today, an adventure that has led to many international recognitions and real-life breakthroughs for students and faculty who contributed positively to the MAGES community. We celebrate every student, staff, faculty, and collaborator who played a role in the MAGES story and welcome you to continue to write exciting chapters with us.
