National Girls Learning Code Week Events
Envisioning a Better Future in Virtual Reality (VR)
Interactive online events on May 22nd, 2021 for girls, transgender and beyond binary kids who are 9-12 years old! We’re offering two different workshops so you can celebrate our eighth annual Girls Learning Code Day all day long.
Creating a Virtual Reality (VR) Prototype For Good
Join us and explore VR as a tool for positive change. We’ll research existing examples of VR for Good, then brainstorm and frame real-world problems that can be tackled using VR.
This low-tech workshop is completely hands-on! All you need is a device to tune in, follow along and ask questions. Some other prep materials you’ll need are:
- Paper, markers/pencil crayons
- Construction materials to build your prototype (such as: paper, sticky tack, scissors, pipe cleaners, legos, etc.)
Creating and Coding in CoSpaces
Build your own 3D creations, animate them with code (using block-based coding), and explore them in Virtual or Augmented Reality using CoSpaces!
For this workshop, all you will need is your laptop or tablet – we’ll do the rest together!
