Why Pico-8?
It’s all about 8-bit game design!
• None of those strange formatting rules that you need to for Python or the Arduino IDE
• Finished programs can be exported as HTML5 for embedding on websites or playing on mobile devices

UGDSB
Sprite and Map editors are built in and can be called easily through a few lines of code.
There are editors for music & sound effects
When your students are ready to move beyond “Drag and Drop” coding, you can use Pico-8 to extend existing computational thinking while introducing your students to the types of coding tools they will use if they are considering careers that involve programming.

Curious About Virtual Reality?
From $7 Google cardboard viewers that we built ourselves and 360° video we’re making as an introduction to our school to immersive VR simulators that we are building for other schools in our board, we’ll show you how to get into immersive media and get VR going in your classroom.
Last year we did a study for the Ministry of Education and have put together a massive collection of VR educational material.
Try out a fully immersive HTC Vive VR set or our student expert will show you the ins and outs of getting a class going quickly and easily with Google Cardboard.
Come and play with the next evolution of media with us!
Here is a presentation WITHIN a presentation!!!
Worried about safety? We’ll address it!
The future of digital media is immersive and kinetic!
Want to build your own G-cardboard with your school logo on it? We’ll show you how!
