This is a past event.

There will be a Code Ninjas Workshop for middle-school girls  from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, February 20, now in amazing 3-D.

Students participating in the workshop will learn to create simple geometric 3D scenes using the Processing programming language. High school students Sarah Larkin and Miriam Eikenberry-Ureel will teach girls how to use the Processing language to draw basic shapes such as cubes, spheres, cones and ellipsoids in a 3D space. By combining these shapes creatively, students can construct their own virtual worlds. All students will have an opportunity to view their scenes using an Oculus Rift, which provides an immersive experience so students can move around within their scene. Lunch will be provided.

Register for the event online by February 10.

This workshop is sponsored by an AspireIT grant from the National Center for Women & Information Technology.
