It started off life as an Inspired Idea at Unsheffield and now Shacknet has officially launched with its inaugural meetup. A mouth-watering demo, a call for projects and exciting news about Sheffield’s homegrown FabLab project were all on the agenda. Plans for the future are exciting and unfolding – this promises to be a group to keep your eyes on.
We are delighted to announce a free workshop for children and parents to learn the basics of Scratch to explore creativity through technology. Scratch allows young people to make their own interactive art and computer games, and was used to create the Avatars displayed in the Showroom Cinema during Unsheffield and the Sheffield Children’s Festival.
