Collage and Photogrammetry Workshop for Kids

In this workshop we’ll be creating our own virtual digital avatars using paper collage templates. The instructor will show you how to transform your two-dimensional design into a 3D avatar using virtual reality!

For ages 8-14

Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Virtual reality co-presence has been touted as the future of human interaction, and the way we are represented within them is extremely important. So far, Meta’s approach to avatar creation has proven totally unimaginative, trying to create banal copies of ourselves with no capacity for all the amazing potential the virtual canvas could offer. This workshop lets you explore a very different, novel creative method, free from the constraints of conventional avatar design.
