Microsoft Imagine

The Microsoft Imagine program (previously known as Microsoft DreamSpark) gives students currently enrolled in any University of Waikato Computer Science paper (including Computer Graphic Design papers) access to a selection of Microsoft software suitable for developers, including Windows and Visual Studio. This software is available free of charge.  Computer Graphic Design students may use Lab 2 in R Block (R.G.07) to access Microsoft Imagine if they wish.

These computers use the macOS operating system. Software installed includes the Adobe Creative Suite and some tools for 3D image creation.
