I even met the producer, Catherine Gray in Belfast and again at the Dublin showing at IFI.
🎮 Mick and I were invited down to Gorey Library by Wexford County Council in partnership with IMIRT recently to facilitate an ALT.CTRL.GameCraft build your own game controller for teens as part of Cruinniú na nÓg. We even did a meet the maker session before the workshop. The enthusiasm by kids (12 to 18) was amazing and contagious. Let chaos reign! 😆 We didn't take any pictures due to minors being there, we hope we get official photos from WexfordCoCo, but here's one thanks to Gorey Library
🐙 I (Vicky) am delighted to be invited back at the "Build a Squishy" table this year at ShipItCon (August 30th) which will be at The Round Room, Mansion House.
