What will happen in your session?

Participants will learn to code a game using javascript and the p5 and p5 play library and be taught the basic principles of javascript. The participants will be guided by the session leaders as well as having a cheat sheet (step by step instructions).

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

They will create a game, reminiscent of pacman, teaching them about the collect of data represented through emojis. They will know what types of data is collected, how their data gets stolen, and how to protect themselves.
