We're enjoying working with @pytchlang to tell the stories of Y Mabinogi through game-making workshops for young people!
Great collaboration @Technocamps @SwanseaUni
Their goal is to increase youth engagement with STEM!
They made new workshops to teach Python using Pytch while sharing useful insights with us
Looking forward to seeing Dr @LeeAClift, @Luke_Clement92 & colleagues teaching with Pytch
