Developed by the Creative Communities Research Group at the University of Colorado Boulder, Family Creative Learning is a workshop series that engages children and their parents to learn together — as designers and inventors — through the use of creative technologies.
This is a complete guide for family workshops that engage everyone in computer science, design thinking, and making. Holding family workshops helps families learn how to support their children with their learning.
