Cambridge Science Festival: Bring a book to life with OctoStudio (O'Neill)
This week's Wednesdays of Wonder will be special, in honor of the Cambridge Science Festival!
Families are invited to join us for a drop-in creative coding workshop using OctoStudio, a new app developed by the team behind Scratch. We will take inspiration from our favorite books to create an animation with your favorite character, put yourself inside a fantastical setting, make a game inspired by the story, and much more!
Devices will be provided. No registration required. Adults are encouraged to participate alongside their children!

ABOUT THE ORGANIZER
The Lifelong Kindergarten group develops innovative technologies and cultivates caring communities to engage young people from diverse backgrounds in creative learning experiences. Best known for creating Scratch, the world’s most popular coding language for kids, the group recently launched a new creative coding app called OctoStudio. OctoStudio transforms how young people use mobile phones and tablets, enabling them to create their own stories and games anytime, anywhere. It is available completely free of charge in app stores, without any ads or in-app purchases.
This event is part of Cambridge Science Festival, a celebration showcasing the leading edge in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). A multifaceted, multicultural event, the Festival makes science accessible, interactive and fun, highlighting the impact of STEAM in all our lives.
