Talking Portraits
Wed 4 Apr, 1pm - 4pm
For the second of our two Easter school-holiday workshops at the St Matthews Centre we'll be making interactive self portaits
For the second of our two Easter school holiday workshops at the St Matthews Centre we want you to make a self portrait out of everyday materials – like foil, play-doh, and ordinary pencil lead – that happen to be ‘conductive’, meaning they can be used to conduct tiny amounts of electricity.
We’ll be using the Makey Makey – a special device that turns those conductive materials into computer controllers – so you can use your portraits to interact with a giant digital face made in Scratch, a children’s computer language.
This is a free, drop-in workshop so no booking is required. Best for children aged 3–9. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
In partnership with St Matthews Big Local and Leicester Neighbourhood Services.
