Wildlife Soundscapes: In this lesson, learners will explore the sound investments of wildlife in protected environments and begin to consider how we can restore and protect animal habitats. Traditionally, animation involves drawing several pictures, sometimes thousands, then playing them in sequence to create the illusion of movement. Today, we have digital tools that help us create animations more easily by letting us control characters, backgrounds, and even sounds with code.
CoSpaces: 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. Extension: CoSpaces using multi-diorama and showcasing things you can do to help out around the house or adding safety tips.
Emoji Art (Pj5s): This workshop will focus on the fundamentals of computer programming in a visual context. Learners will design interactive emojis using Processing.py, a Processing ‘flavour’ that builds upon the Python programming language and is often used in electronic arts, new media art, and visual design.
