We love these and have done a couple of these now at our local Apple Store. This month they are offering two different work shops.
1. Make Your Own Emoji
Kids will learn fun ways to create their own emoji. We’ll show them how to draw colourful faces and objects. Then they’ll explore using the Procreate app on iPad with Apple Pencil to draw an emoji to take home. Devices will be provided. Recommended for kids aged 8–12.
2. Coding for kids
Code and create as a family with Swift Playgrounds using iPad. Kids will experiment with code and design an app using the About Me playground. They’ll use Swift code to customise their app with fun fonts, background colours, emoji and more. Then you’ll work together to bring their app to life. Recommended for kids aged 10 and up. Devices will be provided.
These are so much fun and completely free of charge. They ask you to book from an Apple device ahead of time with dates and times varying from store to store.
