Inside the MGM Lab: Meet Our Six Student-Led Divisions

To keep our dynamic workspace buzzing and our projects moving forward, the Media, Game, and Mobile (MGM) Lab operates through six specialized divisions. This structure not only keeps the lab running smoothly but also gives our members hands-on, industry-equivalent experience before they even graduate.

Here is a quick look at the teams powering the MGM Lab and what they do:

• Curriculum

  This division focuses on developing the laboratory’s internal learning system. Its role includes revising practicum modules, creating new modules, and supporting learning materials for 4 even-semester courses and 3 odd-semester courses. Based on the criteria document, this division is especially suitable for members with academic exposure to web, UI/UX, or mobile-related subjects, and prior experience as a teaching assistant is considered a plus.

  
  

• Media
