Hoist sessions are led by industry experts and are designed to help teens explore and expand their interests in technology and entrepreneurship. Workshops develop skills in areas like design, coding, game development, and much more.
Hoist sessions take place one Saturday a month (with the exception of July, August and December) and are targeted for teens ages 12 to 19.
Topics change each month and are based on current trends, as well as the needs and interests of Hoist participants. This helps make each session unique and fun for the participants.
Join Volta and the team from Nearby Planet VR for a fun and educational session on virtual reality. You will learn about the many applications VR can be used for and a quick history lesson before getting the opportunity to have fun with the VR headsets.
