Equally suited to the tech-curious and the tech-phobic, this is a good chance to get your learning safely, responsibly, and without being patronized.
This is an opportunity for critically-engaged, proactive, and hopeful guided exploration of an unfamiliar landscape. The workshops offer a mixture of digital and physical hands-on learning, with supporting informal drop-ins. All workshops take place remotely, on Zoom, ensuring full and equal accessibility for professionals vulnerable to Covid-19.
The digital learning hands-on elements require a basic Raspberry Pi kit, which can be assembled inexpensively from common bits and pieces - just add the Pi to safely explore the digital world without meddling on your expensive computer!
Participate in the whole week as a crash-course, or join individual sessions.
Practitioners in all art-forms welcome. 18+
