Participants can choose from the following workshop options:

Introduction to 2D Animation - Students will learn the basic principles of 2D animation and get hands on to create a short animation in the form of a GIF using Brush Ninja/Pencil2D. They will require computers with internet access. The accessible online software for students is Brush Ninja. For more advanced students, Pencil2D can be used or if they have their own preference of animation software.

Introduction to 3D Game Character Design - Students will learn the basics of game character design and get hands-on to create a simple character modelling using Autodesk Tinkercad. Students will explore the fundamentals of 3D theory and modelling and understand the main functions of 3D character design. For more advanced students, students can animate their game character using Mixamo.

These workshops are suitable for teenagers and young adults 12+.
