Learn how to make your props and clothing shine, interact, play music, and much more! You’ll learn how to tell the computer what you’d like it do to, learn programming, and make your first interactive prop, live!
You’ll first learn about your first computer that you’ll program yourself. I’ll teach you how to tell it to light up, blink, use sounds, and more!
After giving you all a chance to practice with a few more practice exercises, everyone will make their own props, with each team making something new, and do a peer lesson to share what they made.
We’ll conclude with a Q&A session, helping you form your first community in interactive props, costumes, and programming!
