# Event Details - **Event Name**: Black Kids Code(Girls) Windsor - Designing for Real Users - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Join us for an exciting workshop designed just for girls aged 8-17. Whether they’re brand new to coding or eager to level up their skills.About this EventWorkshop OverviewIn May, students move beyond simply building AI projects into one of the most exciting stages of innovation: designing experiences for real people.This workshop introduces learners to user-centered design, where technology is not just functional, but intuitive, engaging, and meaningful. Students begin to understand that the best digital products succeed because they connect with users, responding to their needs, emotions, and interactions.Participants explore how AI can create personalized, interactive experiences, blending creativity with technical skills. It’s a powerful shift from “Does it work?” to “Does it feel right for the user?”In the Beginner Track, students build emotion-responsive interactive stories that adapt in real time to a viewer’s facial expressions. Their projects come alive as narratives change based on how users feel, turning storytelling into a dynamic, personalized experience.In the Advanced Track, students refine and elevate their Python chatbots into more polished, user-friendly systems. They improve logic, strengthen error handling, and enhance personality and usability through peer testing and real-world feedback, transforming their work from simple programs into real product-like experiences.This workshop reinforces a key idea in modern technology: great products are designed for people, not just built for function.This workshop is FREE, and all learning materials will be provided, students simply need to bring their curiosity, creativity, and willingness to build something meaningful.Beginner Track - AI Interactive StorytellingThis is the culminating creative project of the beginner AI journey.Students design and build interactive stories that respond to human emotions in real time. Instead of following a fixed storyline, their stories branch into multiple paths, creating unique experiences for every user. A smile might trigger a joyful adventure, while a sad expression could unlock a comforting storyline.Learners begin with intentional design, planning characters, settings, and story paths before coding, reinforcing that great digital experiences start with thoughtful ideas. They then bring their stories to life in Scratch using emotion detection and branching logic.Key ActivitiesExplore the difference between interactive and traditional storytellingLearn how emotion detection creates personalized experiencesPlan characters, settings, and multi-scene narrativesBuild three emotion-based story pathsWrite dialogue and design immersive scenesCode emotion-triggered transitionsTest and refine all story pathsPrepare projects for showcaseLearning OutcomesStudents will:Think like a designer: Plan stories with the user experience in mindCreate dynamic narratives: Build stories that change based on emotionsMaster branching logic: Develop multi-path storytelling systemsBring stories to life: Combine visuals, dialogue, and interactionDesign meaningful experiences: Connect technology with human emotionMaterials NeededLaptops with ScratchStory planning worksheetsEmotion models from FebruaryBackdrop and sprite librariesSample story structuresDeliverablesCompleted 3-scene interactive storyStory planning documentSaved project for showcaseAdvanced Track - Chatbot Refinement & UXWith functional chatbots already built, students now step into the role of product designers and engineers.This session focuses on transforming chatbots into polished, user-friendly, and intelligent systems. Learners refine their code, implement error handling to improve reliability, and enhance user experience through clearer interactions and creative personality features.Through peer testing and real feedback, students iterate on their designs, learning how real-world products are improved through continuous refinement.Key ActivitiesReview and clean up existing codeAdd comments and documentation for clarityImplement error handling using try/exceptImprove user experience and interaction flowAdd personality features (emojis, dynamic responses, personalization)Build memory features (e.g., remembering user names)Conduct peer testing sessionsAnalyze feedback and refine chatbot performanceLearning OutcomesStudents will:Think like a product engineer: Improve both functionality and user experienceWrite cleaner, smarter code: Refactor and document programs effectivelyBuild resilient systems: Handle errors and unexpected inputsDesign engaging interactions: Add personality and responsivenessLearn from real users: Test, gather feedback, and improve iterativelyMaterials NeededLaptops with chatbot projectsCode review checklistError-handling examplesPeer testing feedback formsCreative feature inspiration sheetsUX best-practice guideDeliverablesFully polished chatbot with error handlingClean, commented, and documented codePeer feedback implementedFeature list and improvement documentationRegister Now, Space Is Limited!For further questions you may have on the day of the workshop, please reach out to Windsor.ExposureWorkshop@blackboyscode.com orstudent.help@blackkidscode.comRegister Now, Space Is Limited! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/windsor/black-kids-codegirls-windsor-designing-for-real-users/100001988852847405 - **Event Categories**: Workshops, Art, Kids, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Windsor - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: University of Windsor - **lat**: 42.3043142 - **long**: -83.06603899999999 - **full address**: University of Windsor, 401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Black Kids Code(Girls) Windsor - Designing for Real Users - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/bedcfffe7b1444ff6d4886b5d7432109fcf52d106693ac4948cb4be748ec95d5-rimg-w1200-h600-dc030404-gmir.jpg?v=1778140877 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Black Kids Code(Girls) Windsor - Designing for Real Users being held? - **A:** Black Kids Code(Girls) Windsor - Designing for Real Users takes place on Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 30 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm at University of Windsor, 401 Sunset Avenue, Windsor, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Black Kids Code(Girls) Windsor - Designing for Real Users? - **A:** Black Kids Code(Girls) Windsor - Designing for Real Users is organized by Black Kids Code For Girls. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
