TripPICOchu

A hands‑on learning tool from VHS Cologne’s TalentCAMPus, designed for young locals, refugees and asylum seekers.

A trippy Pico8 game from my TalentCAMPus Workshop for VHS Cologne, where youngs from a variety of cohorts —locals, refugees and asylum seekers — were introduced to Lua, pixel art, sound design, and basic game design and interaction through hands‑on experiments.

I guided them in crafting experiments in Pico8, creating and tweaking this game, where later I added personal improvements based on their workshop experiments.

Not only the overall experience was quite fulfilling, I — as a Brazilian — am quite happy to promote Lua, a programming language developed at PUC-Rio.
