Hi! I'm Jordanne. I'm a creative technologist & educator spreading digital whimsy. I have two cats, Dini and Yuanyuan.
I love to make things! I'm good with cats, kids, computers and crafts.

  • Processing (Java) & p5.js

Making & Other

  • 3D design & printing
  • Laser cutting
  • Wearable technology
  • Robotics
  • Maker science
  • Augmented reality
  • Visual art

Some of the organizations I've facilitated programs for include: Little Robot Friends, HackYourFuture, The Toronto Public Library, Design Exchange, Maker Festival (2018, 2017), Make Change Conference and Lakeshore Arts.

Scratch

Scratch is a wonderful block-based programming language with its own community that's great for learning. Not only do I teach Scratch, but I love using it to make my own animations and games.

Web

I love playing on the web, creating things that I find fun and cool. This ranges from making pseudo-professional websites for my cats, bringing back early 2000's design elements or experimenting with unconventional UI.

Other Stuff

I really like making bubbles. You can sometimes find me hosting guerilla giant bubble events around Toronto and the GTA.
