SEL Warm Up: Get Unplugged!!


Let's start the week off dancing! It helps us burn off energy, pay attention to our bodies, and learn coding skills! Software developers also have to remember specific steps to make their games work like a dance.

Learn how choreographer and software developer Miral Cadvi uses both skills to create iLuminate glow-in-the-dark dance productions.
