UPCOMING EVENTS
Kidz Connect is excited to be a part of the upcoming Hudson Year Festivals, which will celebrate the 400-year-old bond between the Dutch and Americans that started with Henry Hudson’s discovery of New York in 1609. There will be a series of events in both New York and Amsterdam in August and September 2009.
Kidz Connect will be part of a project called “The Island” which will be an adventure game that takes place simultaneously in the real and virtual world, connecting students in New York and Amsterdam through collaborative gameplay while imbuing historical narratives of New York’s Dutch origins with shared, meaningful experiences as they unravel the mysteries of the game together.
PAST EVENTS
This past summer’s shows were presented live in Amsterdam, Netherlands, at the Waag Society’s Creative Learning Lab at the Pakhuis de Zwijger and in Tampa, Florida, at the Patel Conservatory at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Performances were viewable via a live video stream as well as within Teen Second Life.
