Coding Your Story

 

What stories can we create with  coding programs?

Computer coding is not difficult. You don’t have to know any secret language or symbols. You can use easy to understand apps like Scratch and Octostudio. That’s what we will investigate. We will show how devices and physical materials can interact to help tell our stories.

Who Should Come?

  • Educators: Enhance your curriculum with hands-on STEAM activities.

  • Parents: Engage in meaningful and playful learning experiences with your children.

  • Children (with an adult): Discover the joy of building and innovating with peers.

  • Families: Strengthen bonds through collaborative learning.

Event Highlights:

  • Learn about block coding. 

  • Use coding apps to tell stories.

  • Create interactions between devices and materials.
