About the workshop

Design the game before writing the code.

Students explored core loops, challenges, rewards and player experience before developing spatial interactions for virtual reality. Working in teams, they moved from an initial concept to an XR game prototype, interaction design document and final presentation.

The programme introduced grabbing, throwing, object manipulation, spatial puzzles and comfortable locomotion, while encouraging every team to connect mechanics with narrative and emotional experience.

LocationHong Kong, China
AudienceSecondary school students

Workshop focus

Use AI to ask a spatial “what if”.

Participants received an introduction to spatial narrative design, then combined references from culture and everyday life to produce an alternative Hong Kong. Generative AI became a tool for visual inquiry, storytelling and critical imagination.

Date18 May 2025
LocationShenzhen, China
AudiencePrimary to junior secondary students

Workshop focus

Build a resident for an imagined AI town.

Students learned how AI recognises patterns and generates content before creating a character biography, image, short animation and identity card. The session connected prompting, visual design, VR experiences and 3D technologies through an accessible town-building narrative.

LocationHong Kong, China
AudiencePrimary school students

Learning stations

Recycling Rangers & Little Architecture Detectives.

The recycling station followed plastic bottles from sorting to material reuse and a reactivated virtual city. The architecture station overlaid dimensions, sections and material information on the Jockey Club Innovation Tower, connecting structure, proportion and design with everyday STEAM learning.
