    Cogswell gives you the chance to work in a setting that simulates a professional studio.  We believe this industry-based approach to learning gives you an edge when you look for that first job.  By creating with others who are passionate about the same things, you will build a body of high quality work to show potential employers.

    But it is your fellow students at Cogswell who will have the most lasting impact.  We believe you will find them to be dedicated, hard-working, focused individuals who are gifted with artistic, technological and visionary talent.  These are the people who will challenge and inspire you throughout your life.

    Date updated: 2012-05-04 Category: Strategy

    Clark & Dagger is a cooperative stealth game where each player has unique abilities that help them get through a dungeon. One player is the Spy, Dagger, who can take out guards and use the environment to her advantage. The other player is the Hacker, Clark, who can break into security systems and change the environment. Only by working together can they reach the server, collect the data, and escape out alive. The game was developed by 10 students in the Game Development Club at Cogswell Polytechnical College in Sunnyvale, California.
