Tutorials for using Unity paired with Autodesk Maya?
I am currently a psych major, but I'm very interested in computers in my free time. I'm a gamer and I've always really wanted to experiment with creation in Unity. My understanding is that AutoDesk Maya offers a 3-year free trial for students, and that it can be used to create .obj files or animations for use in games. I'm wondering where I can go to learn how to use either of these programs, really just to experiment. Are there any locations online that offer tutorials or advice specifically for these two programs? I'd love to pursue this interest. Thanks in advance! #computer-science #computer-software #computer #video-games #computer-games #unity3d #autodesk #unity2d

Why is their negative stigma surrounding girls who want to major in STEM programs?
As a girl who grew up on numerous video games, I am so curious to why there is such a negative connotation of the phrase "Female Engineer." I am hoping to major in Computer Science at a large university but am so befuddled in the area of STEM careers and women. Why isn't there huge names of women in computer fields? Like a Steve Jobs or a Bill Gates? I grew up around Star Wars and technology, and have been accepted as the "nerd" I am. But I still do not get why people are so against a woman in an IT manager or CEO role. Are people intimidated? Is it rare to have smart women pursing their inner dreams, despite the social aspect of it all? #computer-science #technology #tech #video-games #stem #computer-programming #computers #women
