Toolkit

This conference is your chance to create new ideas using tools and insights that can code, build, and make our world a better place. Here’s your basic toolkit.

UX Prototyping and Coding

No-Code App Prototyping

On Thunkable, anyone can easily design beautiful apps, program powerful functionality with drag & drop blocks, and upload apps to the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store.

You can also build web apps, which are apps that you don't need to download and can be directly accessed online.

All apps built on Thunkable work for both Android and iOS devices.

Code-Based Graphics and Simulation

p5.js is a JavaScript library for creative coding, with a focus on making coding accessible and inclusive for artists, designers, educators, beginners, and anyone else! p5.js is free and open-source because we believe software, and the tools to learn it, should be accessible to everyone.

Using the metaphor of a sketch, p5.js has a full set of drawing functionality. However, you’re not limited to your drawing canvas. You can think of your whole browser page as your sketch, including HTML5 objects for text, input, video, webcam, and sound.

Virtual Reality Sandbox with Block Coding

CoSpaces is a mixed reality web-based application that allows users to create and engage with interactive media content.

CoSpaces affords student the ability to demonstrate their knowledge in new ways by building virtual interactive worlds, simple or complex, that is approachable for the uninitiated.

Additional Tools w/o Workshops & Mentors

Trinket

Shareable web-based code IDE for Python, Java, and HTML

Glide

No-code app & website prototyping

Scratch

Block code visual apps and simulations


Design and 3D Modeling

Easy Web-Based 3D Modeling

Tinkercad is a free, easy-to-use web app that equips the next generation of designers and engineers with the foundational skills for innovation: 3D design, electronics, and coding!

Tinkercad is a free online collection of software tools that help people all over the world think, create and make. It's the ideal introduction to Autodesk, a leader in 3D design, engineering and entertainment software.

Professional 3D Modeling for More Powerful Devices (DOWNLOAD IN ADVANCE)

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software toolset used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games.

Blender's features include 3D modelling, UV mapping, texturing, digital drawing, raster graphics editing, rigging and skinning, fluid and smoke simulation, particle simulation, soft body simulation, sculpting, animation, match moving, rendering, motion graphics, video editing, and compositing.

Photoshop Light Online Image Editor

Photopea is a web-based photo & graphics editor which can work with raster and vector graphics. It can be used for image editing, making illustrations, web design or converting between different image formats.

Photopea is often considered a free alternative to Adobe Photoshop with less features.

Additional Tools w/o Workshops & Mentors
