What students and industry have to say
In my role, no day is the same as the last because of the huge variety in the work that I do. One week I am developing code for our website, and the next I am working in three dimensions using VR glasses. I can keep many different skills – skills I originally began building at SAIT – sharpened as I advance in my career.

New Media Production and Design ‘17Digital technologies are redefining – and disrupting – the world of art. Things like artificial intelligence are performing tasks that a human would have done ten or twenty years ago. At SAIT, I’m learning how to be part of this disruption and how it can shape new opportunities I come across in the future.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
