March Break Storybook Hackathon

Let your creative 8-10 year old become part of a digital storytelling adventure at this kid friendly hackathon!

On Friday March 18, let your child unleash their creativity in a 3 hour workshop held by the New Media students of Ryerson University.

This free event, known as the March Break Storybook Hackathon, will introduce kids ages 8-10 to the world of art and technology by teaching them various softwares such as Pixlr, iMovie and Scratch Programming to develop an interactive story.

Inspired by Ryerson University’s Story Hackathon and the META art show, kids will be put into teams and will be given a hackathon challenge, on which they would have to work together to create the most inspiring and creative storybook experience! They will also get a glimpse on how to create wonderful works of interactive art, similar to how the artists are making their pieces in the upcoming Ryerson META art show!   

Kids must bring their own laptop for this workshop. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Amanda: amanda.huang@ryerson.ca.
