About this event

In this hands-on workshop, students will use coding to build simple games, solve puzzles, and experiment with systems that mimic real-world communication aids. They will explore how sending messages, cracking codes, and making strategic choices in games all relate to the ways people with severe disabilities can communicate. Along the way, they will learn how coding isn’t just about technology, it's about solving meaningful problems and improving lives.


This workshop is strictly for ages 9–11 only.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
