All you need to know
Using a block-based programming language called Scratch, we’ll learn to apply the programming concept of ‘lists’ by engaging in a friendly conversation with Mr. Fox!
Join your friends in this short workshop where you get to create your own interactive story where players can “chat” with the characters, and scene.
Learn how to make the character’s responses change in the story according to your answer, and wow your friends and family at the different ways your story changes according to their responses!

Pedagogy
No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
