Who this may support

Participants interested in creative digital projects and supported exploration of animation tools. The platform, pace and input methods can be adapted.

How to use this approach

Start with a goal that matters to the participant. Model a manageable step, practise together, allow time and adapt the prompts, materials and pace. Notice what is working and agree on the next step together.

Important boundaries

Use appropriately licensed software and media, protect personal information and agree on how finished work may be shared. Software subscriptions and equipment are not included by a catalogue enquiry.

These are educational supports, not an accredited course, clinical service, qualification or Statement of Attainment. A program-pack licence is different from booking Tyneside to deliver a program. Contact us to discuss delivery separately.
