The Create Caribbean team joined the Nature Island Literary Festival (NILF) today for its annual “Children’s Workshop on Tour” program. Today, the interns went to the north of the island to Portsmouth at St. John’s Catholic School for a Saturday morning program of creative writing, art and digital media. The team previewed its short story Chief Jacko, Superhero, part of the larger Maroon Country project, to a room of almost 90 children between 5 and 12 years old. Then the interns introduced the 9-12 year olds to the basics of building a website with an Introduction to HTML and the basics of building apps and games with Ruby and Scratch. Create Caribbean will join NILF for two more tour events in the coming weeks. The digital media workshop used with the NILF program is part of Create Caribbean’s Create and Code curriculum.
