Dr. Gary Stager is bringing an exciting new workshop to Melbourne, Victoria 27 February 2026! 

Computational making recognizes that the future is computational. Making things with code expands the creative canvas, supercharges mathematical thinking, and positions learners to explore the frontiers of nearly any discipline.

Developing computational fluency allows students of all ages to solve problems, make cool things, and make things work. Exciting new software tools allow teachers and students to engage in computational making without the barriers posed by syntax in traditional programming languages. 

This workshop’s playful and practical experiences will help any educator shape the learning environment to support computational making and help students learn and do in ways unimaginable before.
