| That could be a cool way to give them an introduction to https://glitch.com/ Free, fun, collaborative place to learn and show code, remix things they like and add their own stamp and an easy way to ask for help. https://medium.com/@kellylougheed/dark-stormy-night-with-css... You might not have time to do something like this, but it'd be nice to include it in a resources to explore list for later. https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-multiplayer-pir... Pretty sure all I wanted to do was make cool graphics and games at that time. You could also show off some cool pens from codepen.io which also let you remix and play. If you think they'd be into interactive fiction games/stories, you can run twine or texture in the browser, too, you could ask them for prompts, 'where do we go next, the cave or the castle' and then make it happen. https://twinery.org/
https://texturewriter.com/ A little deeper in, but I once went to a tech talk where the speaker setup a http://johnny-five.io/ bot that and changed the LEDs on her belt in the room when people tweeted colors at it. You might not need a whole belt (or even LEDS, you could have a webpage change colors or words or music), but that kind of live demonstration is always fun (and comes with the caveat of live demos, which somehow don't always work when in front of an audience of skeptic students). Have fun! |
