This masterclass encourages young minds to express themselves through digital design, moving beyond traditional coding to create unique, visually stunning artworks. Whether your child is new to programming or looking to enhance their skills, this session offers a fun and inspiring environment.
Guided by an experienced facilitator, participants will learn both beginner and advanced techniques to bring their digital creations to life. By the end of the workshop, each child will have a custom piece of computer-generated artwork to print and proudly take home.
This is a fantastic opportunity for teens to experiment with code in a creative way, blending technology and art in a supportive, hands-on setting.
