The National Invention Convention is an all-expenses paid, five day workshop at Questacon in Canberra, held every January. This program gives 25 delegates aged 14-18 from all around Australia the opportunity to play, make and create with us, designing and developing a prototype that relates to a theme we give them.

At the end of every event there’s both a formal awards ceremony and a dance party for the participants to let their hair down. In 2018 I was the headline act at the latter 😊

Alas, no video survives. But many shapes were pulled by the participants.

Part of a two-decade live-coding body of work.
