Join us for the Healthy Development Adelaide (HDA) forum on Gaming and ³¢·¡³Ò°¿Â® robotics with autistic students: Learnings and outcomes.
Thursday 8 February, 5.30-7.30pm, Napier G04 lecture theatre, Napier building, Ground floor, ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog of Adelaide, North Terrace.
Today young people play online games such as ²Ñ¾±²Ô±ð³¦°ù²¹´Ú³Ùâ„¢ or use ³¢·¡³Ò°¿Â® Robotics to build 3D worlds or robots and connect with friends. Could building robotics or online gaming collaboratively support social skills of autistic students? We will share the outcomes of two recently completed projects addressing the above question.
