Suitable for aspiring designers and pre-college students, participants will have the chance to learn with the University’s faculty on campus.

Mixed Realities Workshop

As physical and virtual spaces become increasingly blurred and inter-connected, ‘mixed-reality’ is inspiring new forms of technological research and design across many fields from architecture to sports, medicine and even fashion. In this workshop, participants work together using the processing programming language to design interactive ‘mixed-reality’ experiences. Hosted by DIDI faculty member Sayjel Patel.

Date: Saturday 9th February
