Get There Texas was funded by the Texas Workforce Commission. Past projects produced at the DMC include NERO, a video game prototype utilizing innovative artificial intelligence learning research from UT Austin, which won an award at the Independent Games Festival at GDC; and a grant from the National Science Foundation evaluating the feasibility of creating a videogame to teach science inquiry processes to middle school students. Before working with the DMC, Aliza was a producer in the Learning Technologies Group at the award-winning Austin learning and games company Human Code, and later at the e-commerce company Sapient. She created projects pushing the bounds of current technology developing custom learning applications for clients such as PBS, SRI International, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
