For a lot of folks, the computer is a magic box. Turn it on and you suddenly have access to all sorts of amazing things, all of which are controlled by a keyboard and mouse. Ask many how they work and you'll be greeted with puzzled looks. But it's not magic. Just simple logic, built layer upon layer, until the final result is something far more complex than each of those individual parts. In this workshop, learn to understand and interact with such objects and structures and write an original story that has this notion of a multi-layered world at it's heart.

Para muchos chicos, el ordenador es como una caja mágica. Lo enciendes e instantáneamente tienes acceso a todo tipo de cosas alucinantes, todas controladas con un ratón y un teclado. Preguntale a la gente cómo funcionan y nadie sabrá qué responderte. Pero no es magia. Es simple lógica, construida a través de muchos engranajes hasta que el resultado final es completamente irreconocible del principio. En este taller, aprenderás a entender e interactuar con estos objetos escribiras una historia original sobre un mundo constituido de muchos engranajes distintos.
