Creating & Coding in CoSpaces (9-12 + Guardian)

In this workshop, we’ll use CoSpaces to build our own 3D creations, animate them with code(using block-based coding), & explore them in VR!

About this event

Virtual reality (VR) provides immersive storytelling and gaming opportunities, and is a new medium for creativity and self-expression. VR has become increasingly accessible through tools like WebVR, where users can develop, experience, and share VR projects on their computers and phones.

In this workshop, we’ll use CoSpaces to build our own 3D creations, animate them with code (using block-based coding), and explore them in Virtual or Augmented Reality. Learners will practice testing and debugging, and create a virtual space that they can share with family and friends! Projects will also be learner-driven, giving learners the space to leverage VR as a tool for positive change, to tackle an issue that is important to them.

Who is this for?
