CANCELLED: Interactive Graphic Novels with Holyoke Codes for TEENS!
Mar 21 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Combine art and literature with coding and computational thinking to create compelling narratives. We  will conceive a story, illustrate it, and bring it to life using Ren’Py, an open source visual novel engine to tell their interactive digital stories. The Ren’Py scripting language is based on Python, a widely used programming language that enables students to create a unique story that allows readers to make choices that affect the story outcome.
