Workshops

Single topics, explored properly

Standalone workshops that build specific know-how. Each one pairs hands-on making with the thinking behind it, and can be delivered at your school, festival or community event.

The catalogue

Nine workshops

Every workshop equips participants to create intentionally and operate responsibly in digital spaces. Tell me which fits and we’ll shape it to your group.

  • Robotics, Programming & Code

    From physical build to working program. Young people wire up a machine, then write the instructions that bring it to life.

    • Hardware
    • Logic
    • Debugging

  • Web Development

    How the web actually works, then building something real on it. Structure, style and publishing a page of their own.

    • HTML & CSS
    • Publishing
    • How the internet works

  • Staying Safe Online

    Practical, non-alarmist skills for the situations young people actually encounter, and the confidence to ask for help.

    • Privacy
    • Scams & manipulation
    • Asking for help

  • Multimedia & Visual Design

    Image, sound and motion as materials. Making things that communicate, using the same tools professionals use.

    • Composition
    • Sound
    • Motion

  • Design Thinking

    A repeatable way to go from a vague problem to something you have actually built and tested with real people.

    • Research
    • Prototyping
    • Testing

  • Thinking in Systems

    Seeing the whole rather than the parts: feedback loops, side effects, and why complicated things behave the way they do.

    • Feedback loops
    • Consequences
    • Mapping

  • Our Digital Footprint

    What we leave behind online, who collects it, what it is worth, and how to make deliberate choices about it.

    • Data
    • Identity
    • Deliberate choices

  • Addiction & Distraction

    How attention is designed for and sold. Naming the mechanics so young people can recognise them in the moment.

    • Attention
    • Design patterns
    • Self-regulation

  • Technology & Impact

    Who benefits, who pays, and what technology does to the places and people around it. Ethics made concrete.

    • Ethics
    • Trade-offs
    • Responsibility
